#P(girl) = 50/90 = 5/9#

Explanation:

The words "experimental probability" change the whole question.
Normally the probability of a a baby being a girl is #1/2#!

#"Exp prob" = ("number of favourable outcomes")/("total number of outcomes")#

Based on the data, there are more girls than boys.

#P(girl) = 50/90 = 5/9#
