GP 4 Week 4 Reflection (Due 4/24)
At a baby shower, we started discussing baby statistics. One of the women told us she had heard a report that for every 100 babies born, there were 6 more boys than girls. If we were to randomly pick a child from a representative group, what is the probability of picking a girl?

it would be 3/50 because all you do is 6/100 and simplify it to make is that number
ReplyDeletemeant fraction
DeleteYou have to use at least 3 sentences if you want half or more than half of the credit.

DeleteThere would be 53 boys and 47 girls out of every 100 babies born. To find the probability of picking a girl just find the percent of girls out of 100. The probability of picking a girl is 47%.

There will be 53 males and there will be 47 females. This is out of every 100 babies born. We need to get the percent so getting a boy will be 53% a girl will be 47%.

ReplyDeleteThe probability of picking a girl is 47%. I found my answer by puting 50 for boys and for girls then i added 3 to the boys side then i subtracted 3 to the girls side. I got 53% for the boys side and i got 47% for the girls side.
out of 100 babies born there are 6 more boys than girls. I solved the equation by dividing 100 by 6 and got 16.6 that are randomly picked.

I agree with Kenneth Aronson because you would have to find a number that is 6 more than the girls' number, but they have to equal 100. The equation for this would be x-6+y=100. I found that 53 is 6 more than 47 and when i added them together i got 100. So, it would be 47% and 53%.
