A man has three daughters. He has six grandchildren (a boy, a girl, a boy, a girl, a girl, a girl, a girl). If his youngest daughter ever have a fourth child, will it be a boy or is it another girl?

I don't mean to sound rude, but do you know how babies are made / how chromosomes work?

You keep asking questions as if the baby's sex is influenced by their older siblings, or their parents' siblings.
It's not a statistical probability, or based on any previous births.

50% chance that the child will be a boy and 50% chance the child will be a girl. Same as for all other people when they have children.

In actuality, the global ratio is about 21 male births for every 20 female births. Percentage-wise, that is about 51.05% males to 48.95% females.

Do not ask me why, read This Article instead.
