I really need help with the method and aswering of this question because i doont understand it. i would reallly nee your help. thankyou in advance. I wold like an answer as soon as possible. Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! p(boy LH) = .14, p(girl LH) = .08
1000 students: 650G, 350B
.......
.14(650) + .08(350) = 91 LH
Group: 91/1000 = .091 LH, .909(not LH)
choose 2
............
P(at least one is left handed) = 1 - P(none) = 1 - (.909)^2 = .1737 0r 17.37%
