Are gender probabilities affected by birth order statistically?

hmm always thought there were more girls than guys in this world, never really thought about it, but according the the current theories behind genes, there should be an equal chance between recieving the chromosomes for a boy as a girl.

Yes.  This does happen to both males and females.

Yes, scatter graphs, but why not try one for males, one for females, and one for all. Investigate if scatter graphs for different groups of people have different lines of best fit. Good luck with your coursework.

it's 50 50 every time.  genetics states that you get one chromosome from your mom (always X) and one from the dad, X or Y.  XX means girl, XY means boy. (assuming dad has even amounts of both).\n\nHence you use condition probablity assuming each occurance is a 50% chance.\n\n50% x 50% x 50% = 12.5%

Depends which sex you are.

If you are talking about who makes more mistakes in life,I would say both.Because,being wrong -it is different from every individual.It has nothing to do with genders.

I personally don't believe it has anything to do with gender... but more to do with personality.\nPeople who are extroverted are less intuitive than people who are introverted.

Dr.Hargobind Khurana,Nobel laureate, who cracked the genetic code.If you mean gender,Its  due to 'x' and 'y' chromosome.Female of species possess xx chromosome,whereas male part possess a 'x' and a 'y' chromosome.There are two chance that can occur during fertilization between male and female gametes, XX and XY.So father part of 'x' and 'y' play a vital role in determining sex of offspring.

Generally speaking it is a matter of statistics and genetics, and actually statistically speaking men are on average 5 points ahead of the fairer sex IQ wise. \n   In all actuallity boys and girls up to age 14 have no measurable difference statistically wise in IQ, however after that age there is a consistent widening in the IQ gap between men and women up to the age of 45, where IQ generally tend to stabalize.\n    A generally accepted biological explanation, after extensive simplification, is that males evoveled their mathamatical and spatial abillity becuase of the need of those skills for hunting, navigating, and competing for natural resources (think cave-man). Women's 'mental aptitude' on the other hand dealt with teaching, communicating, and raising and caring for offspring (think cave-woman). So wait, does this mean that women are better at communicating then men?\n The answer is not surprisingly an emphatic YES! In fact a majority of studies found that on average women are indeed better at commicating then men, and have consistently shown better verbal and writing skills in all of the basic aptiude tests (think SAT and ASVAB) used. So why do men have higher IQ's, well becuase most IQ tests stress memory and spatial development, most likely becuase it is extremely difficult to accurately measure anything related to imagination and creativity.\n   So what is the answer..well officially its men, but thats what just the book says. There are many other factors to take into consideration when determining how 'smart' someone is than just a test: drive, motivation, determination. Honestly it all comes down to the person...

no specific answer, but the previous one cannot be true, as if this were the case, over time men and women would be of the same height... traits have binary states, they either exist or they don't, so you could get either the height of your father or mother or someone else in your ancestory, no averaging.

I don't think that it really matters per say on gender. But on the way we perceive things differently. The gender can effect the way that we react to things differently.

No. remember the sex depends on the sperm so that means that if a sperm carring the girl coding fertilizes the egg then it will be a girl but if one carring the boy coding fertilizes the egg then it will be a boy. \n\nAdded to this is that each sperm carries different coding so besides there being male and female sperm there are differences among them all.

Probably has to do with x & Y chromosomes has to do with genetics to make baby a boy or girl

It's a 50/50 prediction, isn't it?  I know that girls are more likely to be strong and survive at birth, though.  But, maybe since they used to do all that "first son and heir" stuff, there are more sons born first? Who knows.

So what?  It happens.  Not to me, but I think it is like 1 or 2 percent of the population of newborns.  Oh, and noone is born a man, about half the population is born male, but they have to grow up into men.\n\nGenerally when an infant is born with sexual organs from both genders the doctors remove any trace of male genitalia, and do the best they can to make the infant most closely resemble a female.  Rarely, they make the infant most closely a male, because it is a more complicated procedure.\n\nBe nice to her.  People who are born that way have difficulties in life, and generally have to take hormones for all their lives.

Why all these people are saying its 50/50 I have no idea.  It certainly is NOT 50/50, the chance varies for every individual.  Some males have more sperm with the X chromosome and some have more sperm with the Y chromosome.  Very few, if any, males have an exact 50/50 ratio.
