I have two kids, one is a girl. What is the probability that the other kid is a boy?

Boy

I was born when my mom thought she had to take a dump. She almost named me 'Kerplunk'.
1/2. The gender of the first child has no bearing the gender of the next child. Unless you're Chinese or Indian.
100% If only one is a girl, the other must be a boy.
50% as always
About .49. Not actually 50/50 because sperm with an X chromosome are bigger and live longer as a result.
The answer used to be 50/50 on the other kid. But with all the freaks in the media these days, who knows? What if the kid was Bruce Jenner?

That is a question, not a riddle.
1/1. You've told us "one is a girl".

Actually, the child has already been born according to the question stem, so there is no "probability" at this point. It either is male or it isn't. The event has already occurred with one outcome or the other.
So I'm going to revise my answer from "49%" to "N/A."
100%.
Let the child determine he/she/Xe's own gender

I agree, kind of. Since the child already exists, probability doesn't really apply. By comparison, someone awakens from a year long coma, and you ask them, "what is the probability that Donald Trump is president?"

100%. If there's two kids and ONE is a girl, the other must be a boy.
100% that this a stupid question. And you are NOT the father.
1/3
You were the only one who got it right but your reasoning was off. You were just lucky with the right answer.
