Assuming that boys and girls are equally likely, it is 11/16.
Since the probability of having a son is about 1/2, the probability of the first 4 children being boys is about (1/2)4.
There is no simple answer to the question because the children's genders are not independent events. They depend on the parents' ages and their genes.However, if you assume that they are independent events then, given that the probability of a boy is approx 0.52, the probability of three boys and a girl is 0.2669.

There is no simple answer to the question because the children's genders are not independent events. They depend on the parents' ages and their genes. A family of 4 is a family of two parents and two children. The probability that both children are girls is 0.2334
There is no simple answer to the question because the children's genders are not independent events. They depend on the parents' ages and their genes. However, if you assume that they are independent events then, given that the probability of a boy is approx 0.52, the probability 4 boys and 1 girl out of 5 children is 0.1724 approx.
Probability equals the number of ways an event can occur divided by the total number of events. The total number of events is (b=boy, g=girl) is bb, bg, gb, gg. The probability is then 1/4.
