very high, that is only slightly higher than average.
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
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!!AnswerBoth 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.http://www.anythingleft-handed.co.UK/

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.
10% of men and 8% of women are left-handed.
About 10% of the world's population is estimated to be left-handed.
