it depends. i'm assuming you didn't buy feminized seeds. you can also look it up on the net or others may have ideas, but you can make your chances of making the seed a female. like putting a banana peel in a plastic bag with your seeds.... or something that has to do with birth control pills or blood. i swear i read that somewhere!!! LOL but i've done the banana thing and 2 out of 2 seeds have been girlies!!!
as for your question, it is hard to say how many would be female. because it also depends on if you put the plant through any kinds of stress during growing and that can change the sex of the plant as well.
check this out........from dutch passion seeds.....
follows:
From literature and our own findings it appears that the growth of a male or female plant from seed, except for the predisposition in the gender chromosomes, also depends on various environmental factors. The environmental factors that influence gender are:
1. a higher nitrogen concentration will give more females.
2. a higher potassium concentration will give more males.
3. a higher humidity will give more females.
4. a lower temperature will give more females.
5. more blue light will give more females.
6. Fewer hours of light will give more females. It is important to start these changes at the three-pairs-of-leaves stage and continue for two or three weeks, before reverting to standard conditions.

thats not true, sex is predetermined. half of the seeds should be girls on average, but if its your first grow dont expect all of them to make it and some wont germ (around 90 percent of dry brown seeds should)
