$10.\\1ft=0.3048m\to1m=\dfrac{10000}{3048}ft\approx3.281ft\\\\therefore\ 14m\approx14\cdot3.28ft1=45.93ft$

$13.\\1mi=1.609km\to1km=\dfrac{1000}{1609}mi\approx0.621mi\\\\therefore\ 0.3km\approx0.3\cdot0.621mi=0.186mi$

$1in=2.54cm\to1cm=\dfrac{100}{254}in\approx0.394in\\\\therefore\ 15cm\approx15\cdot0.394in=5.91in$

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

olganol [36]

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;

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