Consider the following situation.

There are two hospitals: in the first one, 120 babies are born every day, in the other, only 12. On average, the ratio of baby boys to baby girls born every day in each hospital is 50/50. However, one day, in one of those hospitals twice as many baby girls were born as baby boys.

• In which hospital was it more likely to happen and why?
• What is the implication of your response for quantitative research in general and any research you might conduct in particular?
