Assuming P(B) = 1/2 and P(G) = 1/2, the expected ratio of boys to girls would be:

B/G = 1.

Explanation:

Suppose 16 families. On their first child there would be 8 boys and 8 girls. From the

8 families that would try again their would be 4 girls and 4 boys. From the 4 families that would try again there would be 2 girls and 2 boys and from the 2 families that

would try again there would be 1 girl and one boy. Form the last family to try again

the chances of getting a boy or a girl is 1/2. So in a larger population than 16 families

half the time they would get a boy and half the time a girl. The relation of boys to

girls end up to be 1 to 1.
