You can put this solution on YOUR website! When a group of five single births are recorded what is the probability that at least 4 are boys. Assume that boys and girls are equally likely. (Hint: Need a probability distribution)
----
Since each birth is either boy or girl this is
a binomial probability problem.
-----
n = 5 ; p = 1/2
----
P(x >=4) = 1 - binomcdf(5,0.5,3) = 0.1875
