Question

an average of many different studies of handedness indicate that in a random sample of adults, 12 percent of men are left - handed and 8 percent of women are left - handed. (assume the rest are right - handed.) suppose you have a sample of 250 women and 200 men, in which the numbers of left - handed and right - handed people reflect the average percentages. make a two - way table that shows the distribution you would find.
fill out the two - way table below:

	women	men
left - handed

(simplify your answers.)

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate left - handed women

The number of women is 250 and 8% are left - handed. So the number of left - handed women is $250\times0.08 = 20$.

Step2: Calculate right - handed women

The number of right - handed women is $250 - 20=230$.

Step3: Calculate left - handed men

The number of men is 200 and 12% are left - handed. So the number of left - handed men is $200\times0.12 = 24$.

Step4: Calculate right - handed men

The number of right - handed men is $200 - 24 = 176$.

Answer:

	Women	Men
Left - Handed	20	24
