    Daughters get one X gene from each parent.

    If the father is a normal male, he carries only a normal X-gene.

    Therefore the daughter will always get a normal gene from the father, and a 50% probability getting an affected gene from the mother, therefore 50% chance of becoming a carrier. The other 50% she will inherit a normal X-gene from each parent, thus a healthy female.

    In conclusion, no daughter will have haemophilia from a carrier mother and a normal male.

    (however, sons will have a 50% chance of inheriting affected X-gene and hence will have haemophilia).
