Question

the accompanying table describes results from groups of 8 births from 8 different sets of parents. the random variable x represents the number of girls among 8 children. complete parts (a) through (d) below. click the icon to view the table. a. find the probability of getting exactly 6 girls in 8 births. (type an integer or a decimal. do not round.) probability distribution for x
number of girls x p(x)
0 0.003
1 0.013
2 0.118
3 0.243
4 0.246
5 0.243
6 0.118
7 0.013
8 0.003

Explanation:

Step1: Locate value in table

Find the row where the number of girls $x = 6$ in the probability - distribution table.

Step2: Identify probability

The corresponding probability $P(x)$ for $x = 6$ is read from the table.

Answer:

$0.118$
