At a large university, 15% of students are left-handed. A psychology professor selects a random sample of 10 students and records L = the number of left-handed students in the sample.What kind of result could be recorded for each trial?

Answer
A
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 left-handed students
B
0 or 10 left-handed students
C
00–15 left-handed students
D
the number of right-handed students it takes before we find a left-handed student

Explanation

Each trial is one random sample of 10 students, and L counts how many of those 10 are left-handed. The count can be any whole number from 0 (none are left-handed) to 10 (all are left-handed). Therefore, the possible results are 0 through 10 left-handed students, as in choice A.
