Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-The following list of digits was taken from a table of random numbers. We will let each set of 5 represent a family of five children. If a digit is 0 - 4 it will be a girl and the digit 5 - 9 will be a boy.
Use this simulation to estimate the probability that a family of five children will have less than 2 boys. $\begin{array}{lllll}18728 & 94741 & 32063 & 04963 & 54859 \\15592 & 71357 & 28152 & 11732 & 17173 \\89555 & 75520 & 08882 & 95295 & 72895 \\38894 & 58070 & 77371 & 10194 & 94917 \\64336 & 95103 & 90740 & 03577 & 62599\end{array}$
