US population 300 million
lets say if 1 out of 10 are left handed and there are twice as many left handed men
30 million = 20 million men and 10 million women
56% of 18 yr old or older Americans are married
160 million= 80 million men and 80 million women
16 million married people are left handed
11 million men 5 million women
therefore the odds are 1 out of 4,389 that both partners are left handed
