Question 1117351: Hello! I'm a little confused on one of my problems! Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you so much! Here is the problem, it's a table. It's shown below:
The gender of five puppies
Gender Frequency
Male 2
Female 3
I believe it's asking the frequency of how many boys vs girls among five puppies. I looked at my class notes and my textbook, and it's not really making sense to me. Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!

Perhaps the probability of this occurrence. If M=F=0.50 probability
Probability of 2 male is 5C2(0.5)^2*(0.5)^3
=10*0.5^5=0.3125
There may be other interpretations.
