Answer:
5%
Step-by-step explanation:
Hospital A (with 50 births a day), because the more births you see, the closer the proportions will be to 0.5.
Hospital B (with 10 births a day), because with fewer births there will be less variability.
The two hospitals are equally likely to record such an event, because the probability of a boy does not depend on the number of births
I had the same question it’s 5%
