Approximately 8% of people are left-handed. If two people are selected at random, what is the probability of the following events?
A. P(Both are right-handed) = .8464
B. P(Both are left-handed) = .0064
C. P(One is right-handed and the other is left-handed) = ?
D. P(At least one is right-handed) = ?
This is basic probability, please show steps and clearly state the correct answer. PLEASE AND THANK YOU!!!!
Solution
C. P(One is right-handed and the other is left-handed) = ?
Given X~Binomial(n=2, p=0.08)
P(X=x)=2Cx*(0.08^x)*(0.92^(2-x))
So P(One is right-handed and the other is left-handed)
=P(Only one is left-handed)
=P(X=1)
=2C1*(0.08^1)*(0.92^(2-1))
=0.1472

D. P(At least one is right-handed) = ?
=1- P(no one is right-handed)
=1-P(both are left-handed)
=1-0.0064
=0.9936
