Question
![Refer to the accompanying table, which describes results from groups of 8 births from 8 different sets of parents. The random variable \( x \) represents the number of girls among 8 children. Find the mean and standard deviation for the number of girls in 8 births.
\[ \text{Click the icon to view the data table.} \]
The mean is \( \mu = \square \) girl(s). (Round to one decimal place as needed.)
The standard deviation is \( \sigma = \square \) girl(s). (Round to one decimal place as needed.)
Note: There are no graphs or diagrams in the image, and further data for calculations require accessing the referenced data table.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/3c582252-6541-4096-9706-b4f3b52fcf1c/84ada1d3-555f-48ef-9cca-eb2e79ca1ffc/5zow0zb_thumbnail.jpeg)

Transcribed Image Text:**Table of Numbers of Girls and Probabilities**
This table presents the probability distribution for the number of girls (x) in a given scenario:
| Number of Girls (x) | P(x) |
|---------------------|-------|
| 0 | 0.006 |
| 1 | 0.035 |
| 2 | 0.116 |
| 3 | 0.216 |
| 4 | 0.263 |
| 5 | 0.223 |
| 6 | 0.103 |
| 7 | 0.035 |
| 8 | 0.003 |
**Explanation of the Table:**
- **Number of Girls (x):** This column lists the possible number of girls in the scenario, ranging from 0 to 8.
- **P(x):** This column indicates the probability of having exactly x number of girls. Each probability value represents the likelihood of each outcome.
**Functions:**
- **Print:** Allows you to print the table for offline review.
- **Done:** Confirms that you have finished interacting with the table.
This table is ideal for understanding probability distributions in various educational or statistical studies.
