During the past year in the maternity ward of a hospital in a large city, 1092 males were born and 1389 females. If we can assume this data is representative of all births in the city, What is the probability that the next baby born in this particular hospital will be a boy? . What is the probability that it will be a girl? (Express your answers as fractions reduced to lowest terms!)
