“BLUE PINK”

Situation: A maternity hospital located at the heart of the city is providing nursery kit items
for expectant mother clients. The common colors of these items are either pink (for female
babies) or blue (for male babies). The hospital management’s concern is the number of each
colored item they have to prepare to meet the demands of their clients. On the basis of the
previous years’ experience, the management estimates that the probability that any one
mother will have a female baby and will be using pink items is .60.

Task: Determine the probability distribution from 20 mothers, with 𝑛 = 20 and 𝑝 = .60, with
the table below.
