Ok lets begin with that the probability when having a kid that she will have a boy is 1/2
Since is 50% chance you will have a boy and 50% chance you will have a girl
The probability that she will have a boy the first time around is .5
The probability that she will have a boy the second time around is .5
So the probability that will have 2 boys is .5*.5=.25
