What is the probability that out of 125 babies born, at least 70 will be girls? Assume that boys and girls are equally probable, and round your answer to
the nearest tenth of a percent.
O A. 70.4%
B. 10.5%
C. 51.2%
D. 99.0%

Well just looking at the choices can lead you to the answer right away.

Well since the probability of boys and girls are equal, its 50/50. And since 125 in half well about is about 60-62 and the minimum amount of girls has to be 70. It can’t be higher then half and the choices remain to less then half not including 50%. So that eliminates all 3 choices except B.

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
