Answer:

A. Randomly select 45 customers from a list of all customers

Explanation:

We are given that,

The company wants to estimate the percentage of the customers who are left-handed.

In order to find the probability of an event,

So, we have to find the number of customers who are left-handed from a random sample and find the percentage.

Thus, the best method to select the sample would be,

A. Randomly select 45 customers from a list of all customers
