I'm Ambidextrous which sometimes presents problems, like in tennis. I don't play a lot of tennis but when I do I sometimes can't make up my mind which hand to use.

In baseball, I bat righty. When I'm in the outfield, I feel more comfortable catching with my gloved left hand. But then I want to throw with my left and I can't because I have a glove on.

If someone starts a club for lefties I'll come because I don't want to be LEFT-out.

Here's a question for the club: Do lefties tend to be lefties in other ways?

I think that the ACLU would sue the club to permit righties in.

You are a funny girl :clap2:

Lefty/righty....righty/lefty???
 

Not to hijack this thread, but it seems that left handed people are able to perform activities with their right hand as well. I'm curious as to how many right handed people can do activities with their left hand? It has been my experience that right handed people do not have the same flexibility with using both hands as left handed people do.

hmmmmmm....
I know there are more left handed boys than girls. Do you have children? My grandmother was left handed. I'm the only one on both sides and my kids are righty's. I love them anyway and pretend they are normal. :)

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

I am a statistician and the question is not that difficult.

The assumptions that you made are:

1 in 10 married people are lefthanded
Twice as many married men are lefthanded than married women

In order to meet those two assumptions, the odds of a married man being lefthanded would be 2/15 and a married woman being left handed 1/15. (Taken together that gives you 3 out of 30 married people being lefthanded, which is the same as 1 out of 10.)

So, if a random selection of one male and one female were made, the probability that they were both lefthanded would be 2/15 times 1/15, which is 2/225, or 1 out of 112.5.

I'm not a statistician. I didn't know what to do with the numbers. I do know a lot of people. Until today, I didn't know any that both husband and wife were left handed. Go figure.
