Answer 1

1237 girls

Explanation:

Given that :

Total number of babies per 1000 families = 34

Number of babies who are boys = 20

Hence, Number of girls = 34 - 20 = 14 girls

Therefore, of 88, 326 families, the number of girls will be :

(88,326 / 1000) * number of girls per 1000 families

88.326 * 14

= 1236.564
