    probability
In summary, the likelihood of having a 73rd grandchild out of 85 is influenced by factors such as the age of the grandparents, the number of children and grandchildren they have, and fertility rates. There is no specific formula to calculate this probability and it cannot be manipulated. The gender of grandchildren does not affect the probability, but having more grandchildren increases the likelihood of having a 73rd grandchild out of 85.
