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.

What is the Difference between left hand gear box and right hand gear box?
The main difference between a left-hand gearbox and a right-hand gearbox lies in the orientation of the gear shifting mechanism and the direction of gear engagement. A left-hand gearbox typically has the gear shift lever positioned on the left side, while a right-hand gearbox has it on the right. This distinction is crucial for vehicle design, especially in terms of driver ergonomics and the layout of the transmission system. Additionally, the configuration can affect the installation in different vehicle types, depending on whether they are designed for left-hand or right-hand drive.

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).
