Odds of Hermie?

My second grow, was 20 bag seeds. Out of those, 15 were male. This evening, 3 of the 5 remaining plants showed hermie. (I should note, they have all just been in flower for 2 weeks today, and only shown sex the past week or so). :wall:
They have had no real stresses in their lives, and there are no light leaks in my flowering room. My oldest plant from my first grow is in there as well, and she is all female. The seeds also came from some pretty good bud. So I was thinking they were probably seeds produced by a hermie?
If that is the case, what I want to know is, what are the odds of the last two females actually being female and not hermie? I mean is there even a chance of them not being hermies as well?:-(
Thanks in advance.

excerpt:

"When a hermaphrodite plant pollinates itself or is pollinated by another hermaphrodite plant, all of its seeds grow up to be hermaphrodites. When a hermaphrodite is pollinated by a male plant, half its seeds are hermaphrodites and half are male."

So thats a big, fat, no chance in hell, right...:sad: Just two more hermies up there that haven't shown yet?
 
i think there might be a "chance" that you won't get a hermy, but it doesn't look good at this point. :(
