Let the random variable X denote the number of girls in a five-child family. If the probability of a female birth is 0.5, find the following probabilities. (a) Find the probability of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 girls in a five-child family. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) P(0 girls) = P(1 girl) = P(2 girls) = P(3 girls) = P(4 girls) = P(5 girls) = (b) Construct the binomial distribution, and draw the histogram associated with this experiment.
