Since hemophilia is an X-linked recessive disorder, the probability depends on the X alleles.
So, if father has dominant allele (H), the probability that a <span>female child would suffer from hemophilia (genotype: hh) is 0%, no matter of mother's genotype:
 
                    Father              Mother
Parents:       H             x          Hh
Daughter:     HH or Hh

</span>      Father              Mother
Parents:       H             x          HH
<span>Daughter:     HH
</span>
      Father              Mother
Parents:       H             x          hh
<span>Daughter:     Hh or Hh
</span>
But, if the father has recessive allele, the probability that a <span>female child would suffer from hemophilia (genotype: hh) will depend on mother's genotype.
If mother is dominant homozygous, there will be 0% of possibility:
</span>                       Father              Mother
Parents:             h          x          HH
<span>Daughter:     Hh
</span>
If mother is recessive homozygous, the possibility is 100%:
                    Father              Mother
Parents:           h         x         hh
<span>Daughter:     hh
</span>
If mother is heterozygous, the possibility is 50%:
                   Father              Mother
Parents:          h         x         Hh
<span>Daughter:     Hh or hh</span>
