Within the United States, approximately 11.25% of the population is left-handed. Of the males, 12.6% are left-handed, compared to only 9.9% of the females. If a person is selected at random, what is the probability that the selected person is a female, given the person is right-handed?

Respuesta :

Answer: Our required probability is 45.05%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

                         Males                  Females               total

Left handed       6.3                         4.95                     11.25%

Right handed     43.7                       45.05                  88.75%

Total                   50%                        50%                   100%

Since 12.6% of 50% are males are left handed = 6.3%

So, 9.9% of 50% are females are left handed = 4.95%

So, Females who are right handed would be

Hence, our required probability is 45.05%.
