Given what we know, we can confirm that the couple in question has a 50% chance that their next child will be a girl.
Why are the odds 1/2 ?
This has to do with the fact that each child that the couple has is an independent event. While it is true that it is unlikely for the same event to occur many times in succession, the previous events do not influence the outcome of the next child.
Therefore, given that a child can be either male or female when born, the couple in question has a perfect 50% chance for their next child to be a girl.
