If two siblings are boys, what is likelihood that the third sibling will also be a boy
melamori03 [73]
The is a 50% chance of being a boy or a girl.....previous siblings do not matter. Every child is an independent event. So even if u had 2 siblings that were boys, the result of the next one being a boy is still gonna be 50%...just as the odds of it being a girl, is 50% as well.
