The probability distribution for the number of girls among 8 children is provided.

The variable x is the number of girls among 8 children.

a.

Using the probability distribution table, the probability corresponding to 7 girls in 8 births is 0.031.

Thus, the probability of getting exactly 7 girls in 8 births is 0.031.

b.

Using the probability distribution table, the probability corresponding to 7 girls in 8 births is 0.031.

The probability corresponding to 8 girls in 8 births is 0.004.

The probability of getting 7 or more girls in 8 births is computed as:

$$\begin{gathered} P\left(x猢�7\right)=P\left(x=7\right)+P\left(x=8\right) \\ =0.031+0.004 \\ =0.035 \end{gathered}$$

Thus, the probability of getting 7 or more girls in 8 births is 0.035.

c.

The following probability expression is used to determine if the given sample value is significantly high or not:

$P\left(x\text{or}\text{more}\right)猢�0.05$

If the above expression holds true, then the number of successes for that event can be considered significantly high.

Here, part (b) computed the probability of 7 or more girls in 8 births.

The probability computed in (b) part is relevant to determine whether 7 is a high number of girls in 8 births.

d.

Since the probability of 7 or more high number of girls in 8 births is 0.035, which is less than 0.05, thus, the number of girls equal to 7 can be considered significantly high.
