Chayton read a report that said the probability that a randomly selected American is left-handed is 14%.

He was curious how many left-handed students to expect in a class of 20 students.
He simulated 25 classes of 20 students where each student selected had a 0.14 probability of being left-
handed.
Chayton counted how many left-handed students were in each simulated class. Here are his results:​

Answer:

P(2 or fewer left-handed) = 9/25 = 0.36

Explanation:

From Chayton simulations, we can see that in 9 simulations there are 2 or fewer left-handed students in a class of 20 students. He simulated 25 classes of 20 students, then the probability to find 2 or fewer left-handed is: 9/25 = 0.36
