The accompanying table describes results from groups of 10 births from 10 different sets of parents. The random variable \( x \) represents the number of girls among 10 children. Use the range rule of thumb to determine whether 1 girl in 10 births is a significantly low number of girls.

Use the range rule of thumb to identify a range of values that are not significant.

The maximum value in this range is ____ girls.  
(Round to one decimal place as needed.)

**Probability Distribution for \( x \):**

| Number of Girls \( x \) | \( P(x) \)  |
|-------------------------|-------------|
| 0                       | 0.005       |
| 1                       | 0.017       |
| 2                       | 0.041       |

This table represents the probability distribution of the number of girls \( x \) in 10 births. Each row shows the probability \( P(x) \) of having \( x \) girls. To determine whether having 1 girl is significantly low, analyze how its probability compares within the context of the entire distribution.
