Answer: 55 can not be considered a significantly high number of girls.
The probability is relevant to answering that question = [tex]\text{P(55 or more girls)}=0.184[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : For 100 births, [tex]\text{P(exactly 55 girls)}=0.0485[/tex]
and [tex]\text{P(55 or more girls)}=0.184[/tex].
Also it is said that consider a number of girls to be significantly high if the appropriate probability is 0.05 or less
To check :- If 55 girls in 100 births a significantly high number of girls .
We can see that [tex]\text{P(exactly 55 girls)}=0.0485<0.05[/tex]
and [tex]\text{P(55 or more girls)}=0.184>0.05[/tex] , it means it is likely to occur 55 or more girls .
So 55 can not be considered a significantly high number of girls.
