-A person is selected at random from a certain population. Let A = event the person is left-handed
B = event the person is male. In terms of probability notation, the percentage of males in the population can be expressed as $\mathrm { P } ( \mathrm { B } )$. Use probability notation to express the percentage of males in the population that are left-handed.
