In a sample of 70,000 first-born babies, 7 were found to have a certain syndrome. Find the empirical probability that a family's first child will be born with this syndrome.

The empirical probability is the ratio of the number of times a particular event occurs relative to the total number events. In this case, it is how many babies were born with a syndrome relative to the sample total.

There are 70,000 first born babies, and 7 with the syndrome. Therefore, the probability is:

7/70,000 = 1/10,000 = 0.0001
