Question

a sales representative for a baby food company wants to survey 300 random couples who are new parents to find out if their newborn child is a boy or a girl. the rep uses a 1 for a girl and a 2 for a boy when running a simulation. would the simulation be a fair representation of possible survey results? why or why not? (1 point) no, because the survey includes 300 results. yes, because each of the two outcomes are equally likely. yes, because the survey includes 300 results. no, because each of the two outcomes are not equally likely.

Explanation:

In a fair simulation, each outcome should have an equal probability. The probability of having a girl or a boy is approximately \(50\%\) each. Using \(1\) for a girl and \(2\) for a boy in a simulation, each outcome (girl or boy) has an equal chance of being selected in the simulation. The number of results (\(300\)) does not affect the fairness of the simulation in terms of representing the two - gender outcomes.

Answer:

Yes, because each of the two outcomes are equally likely.
