Suppose that 90% of people are right-handed. What is the probability that at most 6 of a random sample of 10 people are right-handed?


It is given in the question that,

90% of the people are right handed


Let p denotes the probability of people that are right handed and q denotes the probability of people that are left handed



And,




Now, by using the binomial distribution probability of having more than 6 right handed people can be given as:



Hence, the probability of having more than 6 right handed people:


= 1 – P (More than 6 people are right handed)
