[Fredslist] RE: Lefthanded Odds

[Paul Napolitano]

Linda, 

You asked "Three of the six co-networkers of the year are left handed, what
is the statistical probability of that!!!"

Quoting a "World Famous" statistician friend of mine, who requested that he
remain anonymous...

"Assuming lefthanders comprise 10 percent of the population ... the odds of
three or more lefthanders is 343-to-1."

Shocking!!

However, we need to know what percent of the general population is truly
left handed. I guessed at 10%.
