Question:

In a test of the XSORT method of gender selection, 574 babies are born to couples trying to have baby girls, and 525 of those babies are girls (based on data from the Genetics & IVF Institute).

b. Is the result of 525 girls unusual? Does it suggest that the gender-selection method appears to be effective?
