At a hospital, 56 percent of the babies born are not girls. Of the baby girls born, 12 percent are premature. What is the probability of a premature baby girl being born at this hospital

Respuesta :

The probability of a premature baby girl being born at this hospital is 5%.

The probability is the measure of the likelihood of an event to happen. It measures the certainty of the event.

If the likelihood of boys being born is 56%, then the complement of that is the likelihood of girls being born which is 100% - 56% = 44%.

Since we are given that of the baby girls born, 12% are premature, the probability of a premature baby girl  being born is:

(0.44)(0.12) = 0.0528 or 5.28%

The closest answer is the 5%.

The probability of a premature baby girl being born at this hospital is 5%.
