Suppose that about 13% of the population is left-handed. A 200-seat school auditorium has been built with 15 "lefty seats," seats that have the built-in desk on the left rather than the right arm of the chair. (For the right-handed readers among you, have you ever tried to take notes in a chair with the desk on the left side?) In a class of 90 students, what's the probability that there will not be enough seats for the left-handed students?
