Question

Using the results from Problem 9, is the result of 31,465 girls in 60,654 births a result that is significantly high? Why or why not?

9. The above table includes 257,264 Hispanic babies. For groups of 257,264 babies, find the mean and standard deviation for the number of girls, assuming that the probability of a girl is being born is the rounded result from Problem 6. Round to four decimal places. Mean = (131129+126135)/2 = 257264/2 = 128632 Standard Deviation sq rt(((131129 – 128632)^2 + (126135 – 128632)^2)/1) = sq rt((2497)^2+(2497)^2) = sq rt(2(2497)^2) = 2497(sq rt(2)) = 2497 * 1.414 = 3530.758 P(girl) = 126135/257264 = 0.49 or 49% Mean is 128,632. Standard Deviation is 3,530.758. The probability of getting a girl is 49%.
