Question 1108238: Approximately 15% of people are left-handed. If two people are selected at random, what is the probability of the following events?
A. P(Both are right-handed) =
B. P(Both are left-handed) =
C. P(One is right-handed and the other is left-handed) =
D. P(At least one is right-handed) = Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Approximately 15% of people are left-handed. If two people are selected at random, what is the probability of the following events?
A. P(Both are right-handed) = (0.85)^2
B. P(Both are left-handed) = (0.15)^2
---------------------------------------------
C. P(One is right-handed and the other is left-handed) = (0.15)(0.85)
-----------------------------------
D. P(At least one is right-handed) = 1 - (0.15)^2
