What is the probability that parents that have 2 boys and one girl will have a girl next?
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.

What are the chances of having a girl after having 3 boys?
(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 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 after six girls born the next child being a girl?
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.
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?

What are chances of having additional boys as children when your first born is a boy?
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.
When a family of seven boys and no girls is expecting an eighth child what is the probability of the next child being a girl?
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.
What is the probability of after six girls born the next child being a girl?

If a couple has 5 boys what percent is there that they will have another boy?
The probability of having a boy or a girl in any single birth is generally considered to be approximately equal, around 50% for each gender. Therefore, even if a couple has 5 boys, the probability of their next child being a boy remains 50%. Past births do not influence the outcome of future births due to the independence of each event.
A couple has two boys what is the chance that the parents next child will be a boy?
Half, because previous outcomes have nothing to do with future outcomes, the chance of getting a boy or girl will always be half.
