Explanation / Answer

21. Duncan and Mary Jane have been married for 17 years and they have nine handsome sons. Mary Jane really wants a daughter
to wear the wedding dress that her mother, Quin, made for her.
The chance that their next child will be a girl, assuming that
the law of independence holds is
a. (1/2)10 b. 1/2 c. (1/3)10 d. 2-10 e. 1/5

every issue is new and independent event

22. The fraction of nine child families which are all male is
a. (1/2)9 b. 1/2 c. 219 d. 6 e. 5/19

p=1/2-------male

q=1/2-------female

(p+q)^9 =p^9........q^9

23. Under normal conditions the expected sex ratio in humans is
1:1, 50:50 or 1/2 : 1/2. The chi-square associated with Duncan and Mary Jane's little family, under this hypothesis is
a. 4576.45 b. 9 c. 3.84 d. 6.78 e. 0.0

=(0-e)^2 /e
