Answer:

False

Explanation:

The argument seen here does not include a fallacy, if we adhere to mathematical logic. Examining the information provided, we look at the world ´unlikely´, where we can interpret as having a probability of likelihood of less than 50%. Because we are told that the baby´s chances are less that 1%, we can safely interpret this as a valid statement.
