On October 17th, 3 babies were born at St. Jude Hospital. What is the probability that two will be boys and one will be a girl?
P(girl)= P(Boy) = 0.50
X ~ Binomial (n,p)
Where n = 3 , p = 0.50
P(X) = nCx px (1 -p )n-x
Where X be the number of boys.
P( X = 2) = 3C2 0.52 0.5
= 0.375

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.
In a hospital, 13 boys were born in succession before a girl was born. What is the probability that after 13 male births, the 14th child will be a boy?
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...
Ignoring twins and other multiple births, assume babies born at a hospital are independent events with the probability that a baby is a boy and the probability that a baby is a girl both equal to 0.5. If the first 5 children born are girls, what is the probability the next born child is a boy?
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.
The weights (in pounds) of babies born at St Mary's hospital last month are summarized in the table Find the class width. 1.05 lb 1.15 lb 1.1 lb 1 lb
About 3.6 babies are born each day at a local hospital. Assuming the Poisson distribution, what is the probability that no babies are born today? Round to 4 decimal places.
4. A random sample of babies born at a Glasgow maternity hospital was investigated in a study of health and development through early infancy. All the children studied were singleton births in other words, there were no twins, triplets, etc.). The data listed below are the childrens Head Circumferences (in centimetres) at birth. Boys: 34.0 34.5 35.0 35.5 36.0 36.0 36.0 36.2 36.8 36.9 37.0 37.3 Girls: 32.2 33.0 34.0 34.0 34.0 34.0 34.4 34.9 35.5 36.6 (a) Use the...
A hospital claims that the proportion, p, of full-term babies born in their hospital that weigh more than 7 pounds is 41%. In a random sample of 235 babies born in this hospital, 114 weighed over 7 pounds. Is there enough evidence to reject the hospital's claim at the 0.1 level of significance? Perform a two-tailed test. Then fill in the table below. Carry your intermediate computations to at least three decimal places and round your answers as specified in...
Suppose babies born in a large hospital have a mean weight of 3685 grams, and a variance of 330,625. If 113 babies are sampled at random from the hospital, what is the probability that the mean weight of the sample babies would be greater than 3631 grams? Round your answer to four decimal places.
