You observe the gender of the next 100 babies born at a local hospital. You count the number of girls born. Identify the n, p, and q, and list the possible values of the random variable x.
--------------
Let X be "the count of girls" in 100 births.
The Value of X is any whole number from 0 to 100.
n=100,
p is the probability of a girl in each birth = 1/2
q is the probability of a boy in each birth = 1/2
