Approximately 8% 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) = (0.92)^2
------
B. P(Both are left-handed) = (0.08)^2
------------
C. P(One is right-handed and the other is left-handed) = 1 -[0.92^2+0.08^2]
-----------------------
D. P(At least one is right-handed) = 1 - 0.08^2
