(apparently) correct answer: 33%, based on mathematics.
correct answer: 50%, due to pure probability and an obvious assumption.
correct answer: 50%, due to the woman not having the children at the same time. Time is not a factor.
correct answer: 100%, the woman had twins.
correct answer: 100%, the woman and man have some deadly genetic combination making all potential females become stillbirths. (that's pretty mean)
correct answer: 50%, because I believe it's true.
