Question

Suppose 200 students were asked if they are right-handed or left-handed. The information is displayed in the following two-way table.Right-handedLeft-handedTotalMale681280Female10218120Total17030200Find P(male and left-handed). Enter your answer using two decimal places.

Answer 1

Step 1

From the given 2-way we are required to find the probability of getting a male and is left-handed,

Probability is written as;

`Pr(event)=\frac{number\text{ of required events }}{Total\text{ number of events}}`

Probability of male and left-handed is;

`Pr(male\text{ and left handed})=(12)/(200)=0.12`

Answer;

`Pr(male\text{ and left-handed\rparen=0.12 to two decimal places}`
