1/2 (providing a 50-50 chance of either gender, when actually around 55% of chi8ldren born are femaile).

Each iteration is a new thing.

Half the first set of births is male, and half is female.

The same for the second set.

And the third.

And so on, ad nauseum, ad infinitum.

I already posted the answer after someone else got it… weren’t you arguing that such reasoning was impossible though before…

wait… Yes you were…

Since people cannot have an infinite number of children, an upper limit of tries has to be set, so the pure equation doesn’t apply.

Show me why the fallacy of denying the antecedent is functionally equivalent to the fallacy of affirming the consequent, and I won’t consider you so logically deficient.

So how is your logic consistent? Sorry no bagel…
