Finding a probability based on a binomial distribution
1. Based on information, 10% of us are left-handed. If a group of 50 people are randomly selected, the mean number of left handed people in such groups is 10. Is this correct?
2. In problem #1, if 3 people are randomly selected, the probability that they are all left handed is what?
3. In problem #1 it would be unusual to get 8 left-handed people in a randomly selected group of 50 people. Is this true?
