I'm really too stoned for maths but I will give it a go... :hippy:
50% is a common sense answer and a reasonable assumption for people who don't work with stats much. The actual probability of 4 seeds giving you (2F,2M) is 37.5%.
There may only be 4 seeds but there are 5 unordered possible outcomes each with it's own % probability of occurring.
A (4F, 0M) 6.25%
B (3F, 1M) 25%
C (2F, 2M) 37.5%
D (1F, 3M) 25%
E (0F, 4M) 6.25%
The % prob. of each outcome added together equals 100%.
To put it another way...
There is a 93.75% chance of getting at least one female plant from 4 seeds. (A+B+C+D)
At least 2 Females 68.75% (A+B+C)
At least 3 Females 31.25% (A+B)
4 Females 6.25% (A)
No Females 6.25% (E)

Or you could just figure out how to feminize the seeds yourself. It's really quite easy.
A lot easier than planting, growing, and caring for 20 plants when you have the means to only flower 4...
:wtf:

What's funny about that is, there's the same exact chance of getting at least one MALE from 4 seeds...Hmm..
So one could say, "There is a 93.75% chance of getting at least one male plant from 4 seeds. (A+B+C+D)"
Care to try your luck?
