In the results of thegender-selection technique, 945 births consisted of 493 baby girlsand 452 baby boys. In analyzing these results, assume that boysand girls are equally likely. a. Find the probability of gettingexactly 493 girls in 945 births. b. Find the probability of getting493 or more girls in 945 births. If boys and girls are equallylikely, is 493 girls in 945 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?
