(assuming that the probability of having a girl or a boy is 50/50)
Looking from beforehand, the probability of having three boys then a girl is the probability of each of these events happening multiplied together. That is 50% x 50% x 50% x 50% or 0.54 This would mean that the chance of having a girl after three boys is 0.0625.
If you've already had the three boys though, it is a different story. The point is that previous experiences do not affect future ones; probability has no memory. Thus the probability of having a girl next is 50%, regardless of if you've had boys or girls in the past. To think otherwise is known as the gambler's fallacy, where a gambler says "black has come up 4 times in a row, it must be red next" even though the chance of red is always 50%

What is the probability that a random couple with three children will have at least two boys?
If we consider there is a 50% chance for having a boy and 50% for having a girl*, there is : - 12,5% chance of having no boys; - 37,5% chance of having 1 boy; - 37,5% chance of having 2 boys; - 12,5% chance of having 3 boys. Therefore, there is 50% chance of having at least two boys. *The odds are more like 51% for having a boy and 49% for having a girl, but it doesn't really matters.

What is the probability of having 3 boys for 4 kids?
Assuming probability of having a boy is P(B) = 1/2, and of having a girl is P(G) = 1/2,the probability of having 3 boys for 4 kids (with out regard to the girl to be the first,second, third or fourth kid) is;P(3B1G) = 4C3 [P(B)]4 = 4 (1/2)4 = 0.250 = 25%The factor 4 comes because there are 4 possibilities for the order in which the girl cancome out.

What are the chances a third child will be a daughter when two sons have been born to the parents?
Whether a male or a female is born cannot be predicted. Since the sperm provides either the X or the Y chrmomsome, whether it is going to be a male or female depends on which sperm fertilizes the ovum. There is no way of predicting or controlling this in vivo.Some couples are more likely to have babies from one sex (either boys or girls).This has both to do with the male sperm as with the female pH value in the uterus. Also the egg membrane "decides" which sperm (X or Y) to allow thru.So woman "A" with man "Q" may only get boys while woman "A" with man "R" may get boys and girls or just girls.It has to do with the chemical make-up / match of both parents.If you already have 2 sons the chances of getting a girl are +/- 46%.A very strict diet (of a maternal diet low in sodium and high in calcium, in combination with timing of intercourse well before ovulation) can raise this chance to 80%!Research done by "adviesbureau Gender Consult" and the University of Maastricht Netherlands:01 September 2010A.M. Noorlander, J.P.M. Geraedts, J.B.M. MelissenReproductive BioMedicine OnlineDOI: 10.1016/j.rbmo.2010.08.002Interesting point: There seem to be more "all sons" (>3) families I know than "just girls" (>3) that I know off. Maybe the chances of getting a son after 2 daughters are higher than 46%. (I know many fam. of 2 daughters and then a son but none of 2 boys and then a girl...)
