Assuming that the births at the hospital are equally likely to be of either gender then the answer is (1/2)4 = 1/16

What is The probability of The next 7 births being girls?
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, the probability that the next seven births are girls (given that the global probability of a girl is 0.48), is 0.00614 approx.
What is the probability of exactly 3 girls out of three children?
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 girl is approx 0.48, the probability of three out of three being girls is 0.1127.
What is the probability of a couple giving birth to five girls in a row?
Probability of girl, assumed to be 0.5. Therefore, probability of 5 girls is 0.5^5 or 0.03125.
What is the probability of a girl being chosen if there are 10 boys and 14 girls?
If the choice is unbiased, the change is 14/(10+14). If the chooser prefers choosing boys, the probability is 0.
What is the probability of twenty-two consecutive same gender births?
Assuming that the chance of a woman giving birth to a boy or a girl is the same (in reality there's about 105 boys born for every 100 girls) then the probability of 22 of the same gender births *in a row* is: P=(0.5)^22=0.0000002384 or 1 in 4,194,304 It depends on the "when" of the question. If you point at a childless woman, and say "She will give birth to 22 children. What is the likelyhood that they will all be girls?" In that case the probability will be one in two-to-the-twenty-second. Pretty long odds. BUT, if you point at a woman with twenty one children, and ask "What are the odds that the next one will be a girl?" Then the answer is one in two. Make sense?

If probability of male birth is 0.52 What is the probability that there will be more girls than boys in 100 births?
0.48
What is the probability of a child being a boy?
It depends on the context: if you select a child at random from a girls' school, the probability is 0, while if it is at a boys' school it is 1!

What is the probability that the 6 child family has exactly two girls?
The probability is 2 - 6
What is the probability to have 2 girls and a boy in a family?
The 8 possible outcomes for three children are: * ggg * ggb * gbg * gbb * bgg * bgb * bbg * bbb Of these, two girls and a boy occurs 3 out of 8 times, which is a probability of 0.375. This assumes that the probability of a boy and girl being in the family is equal, which is not entirely true for a large number of reasons.
Are girls more populated than boys?
the answer is no because an estimated of 107 births that are boys and 100 of girls. That is the answer to that question.
What is the world ratio on live births of boy Vs girl?
The overall ratio of live births worldwide is about 1.01 births for boys to 1.0 for girls. That has been the ratio since records have been kept.
What is the probability of after six girls born the next child being a girl?
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. Unfortunately there is no readily available research into the genders of seven or more children to establish the experimental probability for such an outcome. However, if you assume that they are independent events then, given that the probability of a girl is approx 0.48, then the probability of the seventh child being a girl is 0.48.
