Yes, it might be.
In real life, the ratio of male birth and female birth would not be exactly even since there are factors that could be put in consideration (such as abortion and hereditary diseases)
If it conducted in a simple random sample, the ratio of male and female birth will pretty much even with 99% level of confidence.
