    Step-by-step explanation:

    For this we need to find the amount of left handed boys and left handed girls. Lets go first with boys.

    As there are 250 and the probability that a boy is left handed is 0.1 (or 10%) we can find the amount of left handed boys by simply the product of both numbers:

    leftboys = 250 * 0.1 = 25

    We can do the same for girls, as there are 350 girls with a probability of being left handed of 0.2 (or 20%) for any of them:

    leftgirls = 350 * 0.2 = 70

    So, the total amount of left handed people is:

    letftotal = lefboys + leftgirls = 25 + 70 = 95
