Ten percent of the world's population is left-handed. A researcher claims that left-handed individuals are more creative than those who aren't left-handed. In order to support his claim, he takes a sample of 900 artists and finds that 8% of them are left-handed.   Answer the following. (If necessary, consult a list of formulas.) (a)Find the mean of p , where p is the proportion of left-handed individuals in a random sample of 900 .   (b)Find the standard deviation of p .   (c)Compute an approximation for P≤p0.08 , which is the probability that there will be 8% or fewer left-handed people in a random sample of 900 . Round your answer to four decimal places.
