>>1853246everybody that attended high school could tell you that it's better to switch.
>>1853335given that in this case the chance of male/female is 50/50, and the amount of children a family can have is limitless, a solution would look like following:
first you would need to determine the probability of a family getting X amount of children; P(1) 1; P(2) 1/2; P(3) 1/4; etc.
Then you calculate likelihood of the possible ways a male can be born, P(mX) X standing for the possible variations, P(m1), a male being born as the first child being 1/2; P(m2) 1/4 ;etc.
You can calculate the ratio with using P(mX) and P(X).
Can't be arsed to actually calculate this now.
