Assume that different groups of couples use a particular method of gender selection and each couple gives birth to one baby. This method is designed to increase the likelihood that each baby will be a​ girl, but assume that the method has no​ effect, so the probability of a girl is 0.5. Assume that the groups consist of 33 couples. . Find the mean and the standard deviation for the numbers of girls in groups of 17 births. The value of the mean is μ=_____ (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not​ round.) The value of the standard deviation is σ=____​(Round to one decimal place as​ needed.) b. Use the range rule of thumb to find the values separating results that are significantly low or significantly high. Values of ___ girls or fewer are significantly low. ​(Round to one decimal place as​ needed.)

Assume that different groups of couples use a particular method of gender selection and each couple gives birth to one baby. This method is designed to increase the likelihood that each baby will be a​ girl, but assume that the method has no​ effect, so the probability of a girl is 0.5. Assume that the groups consist of 33 couples.

. Find the mean and the standard deviation for the numbers of girls in groups of 17 births.

The value of the mean is μ=_____ (Type an integer or a decimal. Do not​ round.)

The value of the standard deviation is σ=____​(Round to one decimal place as​ needed.)

b. Use the range rule of thumb to find the values separating results that are significantly low or significantly high.

Values of ___ girls or fewer are significantly low. ​(Round to one decimal place as​ needed.)

Values of ___ girls or greater are significantly high. ​(Round to one decimal place as​ needed.)

c. Is the result of 15 girls a result that is significantly​high? What does it suggest about the effectiveness of the​method?

The result ____ is not. is. significantly​ high, because 15 girls is greater than. less than. equal to  _______ __ girls. A result of 15 girls would suggest that the method _______ is effective. is not effect.
