Answer 1

Here given is that in a society, there are only female and male children and their birth rate is assumed equally likely. Recently 550 females have been delivered during 1000 deliveries.

The probability for the next delivery is an example of  priori probability as it is a probability that is deduced from formal reasoning.

The probability that the gender of the next delivery will be male is equal to 0.50. Option D is correct here.
