Use a simulation approach to find the probability that when five consecutive babies are born, there is a run of at least three babies of the same sex. Use the ten simulations shown below, where 0 represents a male and 1 represents a female, and determine whether such runs are unusual.
Baby Number
1 2 3 4 5
1 1 0 0 0 1
2 0 0 1 1 0
3 0 1 0 0 1
4 0 0 0 0 0
5 0 0 0 1 0
6 0 0 0 0 0
7 1 0 0 1 0
8 1 1 0 1 0
9 1 0 1 1 0
0 1 1 0 1 0
A. Based on the simulations, such an event is unusual because its probability is:____ which is less than 0.05.
B. Based on the simulations, such an event is unusual because its probability is: _____, which is greater than 0.5.
C. Based on the simulations, such an event is not unusual because its probability is: _____, which is greater than 0.05.
D. Based on the simulations, such an event is not unusual because its probability is: ____, which is greater than 0.5.
I keep getting this wrong...I get correct that it is "not unusual" because the probability is greater than .5
but I am getting incorrect the exact probability.....aren't there 3 babies of the same sex in each simulation or am I misreading the simulation chart?
