Assuming an equal chance of a new baby being a boy or a girl (that is, p= 0.5), we would like to find the probability of 40 or more of the next 100 births at a local hospital will be boys. Using the normal approximation for binomial with a correction for continuity, we should use the z-score O 0.6 O -2.1 2 O 0.4 O-1.7
