Best Answer

It is a quote from Shakespeare's play Hamlet, act III, scene 1. In it, Hamlet is contemplating suicide as a valid alternative to the wretchedness of his position (nephew and stepson to a king that murdered his own brother, Hamlet's father, for the throne).

However, unlike with most soliloquies, Hamlet is not alone on stage when he delivers it; his would-be lover Ophelia is listening. This has led some scholars to conclude that it was all an act for her benefit, and may have influenced her own decision to apparently commit suicide later in the play.

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.
