50%
25%
33%
67%

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the nature of each birth

Each birth is an independent event.

Step2: Recall the probability of male or female

The probability of having a male or female child is generally considered to be equal. There are 2 possible genders (male or female). So the probability of having a male child \( P=\frac{1}{2} = 0.5=50\%\)

Answer:

50%
