Given that:


P(exactly\text{ }58\text{ }girls)=0.0223
P(\text{ }58\text{ }or\text{ }more\text{ }girls)=0.067

You know that in order for the number of girls to be significantly high, the probability must be:


P(x)\leq0.05

In this case, you can determine that 58 girls in 100 births is a significantly high number, because:


P(exactly\text{ }58\text{ }girls)=0.0223

And:


0.0223<0.05

Notice that the probability for exactly 58 girls is less than 0.05.

Hence, the answer is:

The relevant probability is


P(exactly\text{ }58\text{ }girls)=0.0223

so 58 girls in 100 births is a significantly high number because the relevant probability is less than 0.05.
