Here, probability of having a girl =12

  probability of having a boy =12

p=12

Let x: No. of children are girls

X ~ B(7,12)

p[X=x]=7Cx(12)x(12)7x         x=0,1,2,...,7

Now, probability that 0 girls

i.e 

p[X=x]=7C0(12)0(12)70=1×(12)7=0.0078=1128

The probability that family has 7 children and 0 girls is 1128
