Question: Gender Selection for Boys. The Genetics and IVF Institute conducted a clinical trial of the YSORT method designed to increase the probability that a baby is a boy. As of this writing, among the babies born to parents using the YSORT method, 172 were boys and 39 were girls. Use the sample data with a 0.01 significance level to test the claim that with this method, the probability of a baby being a boy is greater than 0.5. Does the YSORT method of gender selection appear to work?
