The question is, does M really want to be the random variable representing males among five newborn babies? Will M be comfortable with such an arbitrary gender assignment? What right does the statistician have to make this determination?

Oh, and by the way, if you are going to post on this website, you need to ask an actual question, explain what it is that is giving you difficulty, and show the work you have done so far to solve your own problem.
