The probability is approx 0.81
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).
The probability is 0.2503
0.205
That probability is the product of the probabilities of the two individual events; for example, if event A has a probability of 50% and event B has a probability of 10%, the probability that both events will happen is 50% x 10% = 5%.

Approximately 10% of the population is left-handed, so in a group of 100 people, you can expect around 10 to be left-handed.
Approximately 10% of the global population is left-handed.
Approximately 10% of the population is left handed.
10 percent of the world is left handed.
Approximately 10% of people are left-handed, so it is reasonable to estimate that around 10% of engineers are left-handed as well. However, there is no specific data available for the percentage of left-handed engineers.
Barack Hussein Obama the 2nd is left handed and therefore writes with his left hand. Approximately 10-15% of people are left handed, commonly referred to in the United States as being a southpaw
It's not very accurate, but I claim 10% of the world is left-handed. Also, studies say that people who are left-handed are highly creative. I'm left-handed and I'm the best drawer in my school. Hope that answers your question!
Approximately 90% of people are right-handed, while approximately 10% are left-handed. This means that right-handed people are more common than left-handed people.
About 10% of the world's population is estimated to be left-handed.
Men are slightly more likely to be left-handed than women. Studies suggest that around 12% of men are left-handed compared to 10% of women.
