Hi, as a left hander myself ive had an interest in this, im led to believe through the media we are 1 in every 10 on average.
If it interests you, you can search the net for more info about lefties, we were considered half wits, evil doers, witches or the male counterpart, hence some of the unkindly nicknames such as kackhanded etc, basically the history of lefties has been pretty grim, with no tolerance from the right handed majority, these prejudices carried right through the Victorian era into about the 1930s-1940s, luckily now attitudes have changed....i hope....(otherwise someone will feel my southpaw) lol.
Also their is a theory that we are the survivor of mirror twins, when our right handed bro or sis may have been lost in very early pregnancy, & we were the survivor.... this is only a theory though!!
Answer
Both my husband, an identical twin with a right-handed brother, and my son, a fraternal twin with a right handed sister are left handed. There is a stirore in London which sells stuff for left handed foldk and we have a left-handed milkpan and a left handed can opener. though funnily enough the right-handers in the family find the left-handed opener easier to use while husband uses the right-handed one.

How do you figure out a percentage of something?
Say you have a pie and want to know if you eat 1/2 of it what percentage is left. Now 1 pie - 1/2 pie = 1/2 pie So (1/2 pie) / (1 whole pie) = 1/2 Divide 2 into one and you get .50 To get percent move decimal place two spaces to left. In this case you get 50%.

If 10 percent of the population is left handed what is the probability that 5 people in 20 will be left handed?
We'd like to know the likelihood that any 5 people chosen from 20 will be left-handed if the probability of being left-handed is assumed to be 10%. Well, 5 people can be chosen from 20 in (20 C 5) = 15504 ways. So, we have (15504)*(.1^5)*(.9^15) = 3.19%. This is a Binomial probability problem, where we are interested in 'k' successes (k = 5, success --> people being left-handed) in 'n' trials (n = 20).
