most likely 1 out of five chance
1out of 3
The chances of having a boy for the second, third or subsequent child are the same, regardless of whether the first child was a boy or girl. Slightly more girls than boys are born, so, strictly speaking, the chance of having a son is never 50/50.
If we consider there is a 50% chance for having a boy and 50% for having a girl*, there is : - 12,5% chance of having no boys; - 37,5% chance of having 1 boy; - 37,5% chance of having 2 boys; - 12,5% chance of having 3 boys. Therefore, there is 50% chance of having at least two boys. *The odds are more like 51% for having a boy and 49% for having a girl, but it doesn't really matters.
50% - 50% chance either way.
The coming child has a 50% chance of being girl because there is always an 100% chance of the mother giving the zygote an X and the father has a 50% chance of giving an X and a 50% chance of giving a Y. Therefore, there is a 50% chance of the child being an XY (boy) and a 50% chance of it being XX (girl).
AnswerThe reason boys being wanted rather than the girls is because when the boys grew up and got a wife, the wife would leave her family and look after the boys parents. The girls original parents would be left till last, hense them being selfish and wanting boys. Also people were only aloud 1 child per couple in China (I think this rule still exists), so if any couple had a girl it is likely they would be abandoned, drowned or sent to the moantains, this is all because they felt when they got older there care would be in jeopardy.
Yes, both boys and girls benefit from having both parents present and they have role models. Children have the right to both parents.
They have a one child law to control the population. However if they have a girl there is a chance it could be killed because boys are seen as more important in Asian cultures.
There is no simple answer to the question because children's gender are not independent events: they depend on the parents' ages and their genes. However, if you assume that the events then, the probability of a daughter is approx 0.48
This depends on the parent of the child. Some parents choose to give wallets to boys early as a way to teach them about being responsible with money, while others wait until the boys are older.
shince Chinese people can only have one child (the law) they kill of the girls because the parents want boys.
