Answer

a. .00195; it is unlikely b. .0121 c. .487

Work Step by Step

a. We find that the probability is: $(.125)^3 = .00195$ This is below 1 percent, so this event is unlikely. b. We find that the probability is: $=(.125)(.097)=.0121$ c. We first find the probability that they are all right handed: $=.875^5=.513$ Thus, the probability that there is at least one that is left handed is: $=1-.513=.487$
