Assume that different groups of couples use the XSORT method of gender selection and each couple gives birth to one baby. The XS

ORT method is designed to increase the likelihood that a baby will be a girl, but assume that the method has no effect, so the probability of a girl is 0.5. Now consider a group consisting of 36 couples. a.) Find the mean and standard deviation for the numbers of girls in groups of 36 births

Answer:

Mean and Standard deviation for the numbers of girls in groups of 36 births are 18 and 3 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that he X SORT method is designed to increase the likelihood that a baby will be a girl, but assume that the method has no effect, so the probability of a girl is 0.5.

Now consider a group consisting of 36 couples.

The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution;

P(X=r)=\binom{n}{r} \times p^{r} \times (1-p)^{n-r} ;x=0,1,2,3,.....

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 36 couples

            r = number of success

            p = probability of success which in our question is probability

                   of a girl, i.e.; p = 0.5

<em><u>Let X = Numbers of girls in groups of 36 births </u></em>

So, X ~ Binom(n = 36, p = 0.5)

Now, mean for the numbers of girls in groups of 36 births is given by;

         <u>Mean</u>, E(X) = n \times p = 36 \times 0.5 = 18

Also, standard deviation for the numbers of girls in groups of 36 births is given by;

        <u>Standard deviation</u>, S.D.(X) =  \sqrt{n\times p\times (1-p)}

                                                      =  \sqrt{36\times 0.5\times (1-0.5)}

                                                      =  3

A mile is 5,280 feet between which two integers is the elevation of the trench in miles-22,889 feet is between and miles
andrew11 [14]

The elevation of the trench is between 4 miles and 5 miles.

<h3>Between which integers is the elevation of the trench in miles?</h3>

Herein we have the information of the elevation of the trench in feet and we need to determine between which integers in miles is that elevation, based on the unit conversion from feet to miles. The exact elevation in miles is found by simple rules of three:

x = 22,889 feet × (1 / 5,280 miles / feet)

x ≈ 4.335 miles

The elevation of the trench is between 4 miles and 5 miles.
