Answer: 0.205

Step-by-step explanation:

Binomial probability distribution formula :-

[tex]P(x)=^nC_xp^x(1-p)^{n-x}[/tex], where P(x) is the probability of success in x trials , n is the total number of trials and p is the probability of success.

Given : Male and female births are equally likely, the probability of getting a boy = 0.5

Now, the probability of exactly four boys in ten births :-

[tex]P(x=4)=^{10}C_4(0.5)^4(1-0.5)^{10-4}\\\\=\dfrac{10!}{4!6!}(0.5)^4(0.5)^6=0.205078125\approx0.205[/tex]

Hence, the probability of exactly four boys in ten births = 0.205
