Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to find the probability that at most 6 out of 10 people are right-handed, given that 90% of people are right-handed. This situation can be modeled using the binomial probability formula. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify Parameters**: - Let \( n = 10 \) (the number of trials, or people sampled). - Let \( p = 0.9 \) (the probability of success, i.e., a person being right-handed). - Let \( q = 1 - p = 0.1 \) (the probability of failure, i.e., a person being left-handed). ...
