X
The interval should have only two values.
Do the intervals suggest that the sex assigned at birth of the second born child is predictable from the sex assigned at birth of the first born child.
O The intervals suggest that having a first born male child does not have a noticeable impact on the chances of the second born child being male.
O The intervals suggest that having a first born male child may slightly decrease the chances of the second born child being male.
● The intervals suggest that having a first born male child may slightly increase the chances of the second born child being male.

Expert Solution
Description

The purpose of this question is to determine whether the sex assigned at the birth of the second-born child is predictable from the sex assigned at the birth of the first-born child, using interval-estimation methods. We will construct 95% confidence intervals to estimate the population proportions of second-born babies assigned the gender male at birth given that their first born sibling was assigned the gender male at birth, and those assigned male at birth given that her first born sibling was assigned the gender female at birth. We will then compare the two intervals to determine whether the sex assigned at the birth of the second-born child is predictable from the sex assigned at the birth of the first-born child.
