We considered a town with two hospitals. In the large hospital about 45 babies are born each day, and in the smaller hospital about 15 babies are born each day. We were interested in guessing which hospital would have on the average the largest number of days with the property that more than 60 percent of the children born on that day are boys. The probability of a boy being born is 0.5 For each hospital find the expected number...

Suppose that 55% of all babies born in a particular hospital are boys. If 7 babies born in the hospital are randomly selected, what is the probability that at least 3 of them are boys? Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places, and round your answer to two decimal places.

Suppose that 50% of all babies born in a particular hospital are girls. If 6 babies born in the hospital are randomly selected, what is the probability that more than 1 of them are girls? Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places, and round your answer to two decimal places.

4. At a local hospital, babies are born at an average rate of four births per night (consider "night" to be an 8 hour period from 10pm to 6am). Assume that the time that elapsed from one birth to the next has the exponential distribution. Take note that we are concerned only with the rate at which babies are born, and we are ignoring the time spent in labor. We must also assume that the times spent between births are...

Suppose babies born in a large hospital have a mean weight of 3242 grams, and a standard deviation of 446 grams. if 107 babies are sampled at random from the hospital, what is the probability that the mean weight of the sample babies would be less than 3285 grams Round your answer to four decimal places

Suppose babies born in a large hospital have a mean weight of 3366 grams, and a variance of 244,036. If 118 babies are sampled at random from the hospital, what is the probability that the mean weight of the sample babies would differ from the population mean by more than 45 grams? Round your answer to four decimal places.
