Question 430923: Assume that 40% of the population are right-handed and the remainder are left-handed(there are not ambidextrous individuals). If you stop the next 6 persons you meet, what is the probability that( for the purpose of this problem assume indepencence in the selection of the indivduals):

For each of the 6 persons, 6%2F10 will be left-handed on average.
If you want all 6 to be left-handed, multiply the probabilities
+P+=+%286%2F10%29%5E6+
+P+=+4.67%2F100+
4.7%
