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 equally​likely, 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.
