    Answer: Yes, 21 is higher than what you would expect if September was like any other month.

    There are 12 months in the years. If all months were equally likely, then they would each have 1/12 of the babies.

    1/12 of 150 is 12.5. The expected number of babies per month would be 12.5.

    However, in the sample, there were 21 babies in September.
