. Find the probability of getting exactly 6 girls in 8 births.

 

​(Type an integer or a decimal. Do not​ round.)

  1. Find the probability of getting 6 or more girls in 8 births.

 

​(Type an integer or a decimal. Do not​ round.)

  1. Which probability is relevant for determining whether 6 is a significantly high number of girls in 8​ births: the result from part​ (a) or part​ (b)?

A.

The result from part​ a, since it is the exact probability being asked.

B.

The result from part​ a, since it less than the probability of the given or more extreme result.

C.

The result from part​ b, since it is the probability of the given or more extreme result.

D.

The result from part​ b, since it is the complement of the result of part a.

  1. Is 6 a significantly high number of girls in 8​ births? Why or why​ not? Use 0.05 as the threshold for a significant event.

A.

​No, since the appropriate probability is greater than​ 0.05, it is not a significantly high number.

B.

​Yes, since the appropriate probability is less than​ 0.05, it is a significantly high number.

C.

​Yes, since the appropriate probability is greater than​ 0.05, it is a significantly high number.

D.

​No, since the appropriate probability is less than​ 0.05, it is not a significantly high number.
