There is not enough information on the propensity for the parents to have a child of either gender and so it is necessary to assume that the probability of the gender of the next child is independent of the genders of preceding children. In that case the probability of the next child being a girl is 1/2.

50%, the Father's contribution decides the sex of a child.
(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%
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.
Oh, dude, the probability of the next child being a girl is still 50/50. Each birth is like a coin flip - it doesn't matter what came before. So, you could have a dozen girls in a row and the next one could still be a girl. It's all just random chance, man.
Certain.

The probability of having a boy or a girl is always 50/50 each time, regardless of previous outcomes. So the theoretical probability of having a girl after having three boys in a row is still 50%.

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 of a second boy is approx 0.52, the probability that the next two are boys is (0.52)^2 and so on.

If the gender of a child were an independent variable then the genders of the existing children would be irrelevant and so the probability of the next child being a girl would be approximately 1/2.It would be approximately 1/2 because the overall proportion is not exactly half. However, and more important, is the fact that the gender of a child is affected by the parents' genes and so is not independent of the gender of previous children.
Half, because previous outcomes have nothing to do with future outcomes, the chance of getting a boy or girl will always be half.
