Download Solution PDFGiven:
5% of all childbirth cases result in twins.
Calculation:
Let the number of childbirths in the hospital be 100.
Then, 5% of the childbirths will be twins.
Thus, 5% of 100 = 5 childbirths will be twins.
Number of children born = 95 + (5 × 2) = 105
(∵ 95 childbirths are Single Children and 5 childbirths result in twins).
Number of twins = 10
Approximate percentage of twins out of total children
⇒ 10/105 × 100
⇒ 9.52%
∴ The required answer is 9.52%.
