Answer: Significantly low.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, we know that out of 1700 randomly selected, only 4 of them are girls.

Then the frequency is:

p = 4/1700

Now, using the subjective judgement (meaning that it is based on the opinion only, there is no real math involved)

I can conclude that the number of girls is significantly low, meaning that out of 1700 births we have 4 girls, then the other 1694 must be boys.
