A gender-selection technique is designed to increase thelikelihood that a baby will be a girl. In the results of thegender-selection technique, 821 births consisted of 412 baby girlsand 409 baby boys. In analyzing these results, assume that boysand girls are equally likely. a. Find the probability of gettingexactly 412 girls in 821 births. b. Find the probability of getting412 or more girls in 821 births. If boys and girls are equallylikely, is 412 girls in 821 births unusually high? c. Whichprobability is relevant for trying to determine whether thetechnique is effective: the result from part (a) or the resultfrom part (b)? d. Based on the results, does it appear that thegender-selection technique is effective?
