neoxter thanks for ruining it for me :H i thought i was special for once:H
now i m just some other human with common sense, paper and pencil:P

We got a data from a hospital and a small clinic, they both do the same exact job of serving pregnant women to have their children there. The data was that the percentage of infants are 60% boys and 40% girls. From where it is more likely to have the data from, the clinic or the hospital? and why ?

This riddle was asked during an interview to an applicant by a very professional company.

from the clinic, because the higher the number of samples, the closer to the naturally logical 50-50 we get. while 60-40 seems far from reality, it could come from a small sample (10 newborns or so) given by the clinic.
