A gender-selection technique is designed to increase the likelihood that a baby will be a girl. In the results of the gender-selection technique, 865 births consisted of 434 baby girls and 431 baby boys. In analyzing these results, assume that boys and girls are equally likely. a. Find the probability of getting exactly 434 girls in 865 births. b. Find the probability of getting 434 or more girls in 865 births. If boys and girls are equally likely, is 434 girls in 865 births unusually high? c. Which probability is relevant for trying to determine whether the technique is effective: the result from part (a) or the result from part (b)? d. Based on the results, does it appear that the gender-selection technique is effective? a. The probability of getting exactly 434 girls in 865 births is (Round to four decimal places as needed.) b.

There are declining levels of cooperation among persons contacted in surveys and this brings concerns to pollsters. A pollster contacts 92 people in the 18-21 age bracket and finds that 78 of them respond and 14 refuse to respond. When 276 people in the 22-29 age bracket are contacted, 259 respond and 17 refuse to respond. Assume that 1 of the 368 people is randomly selected. Find the probability of getting someone in the 22-29 age bracket or someone who agreed to respond. Report the answer as a percent rounded to one decimal place accuracy. You need not enter the "%" symbol. prob = Question Help: M Mes

A pharmaceutical company is running trials on a new test for anabolic steroids. The company uses the test on 400 athletes known to be using steroids and 200 athletes known not to be using steroids. Of those using steroids, the new test is positive for 375 and negative for 25. Of those not using steroids, the test is positive for 25 and negative for 175. What is the relative frequency of a false negative result (the probability that an athlete using steroids will test negative)? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) What is the relative frequency of a false positive result (the probability that an athlete not using steroids will test positive)? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
