 a. The probability that the population proportion of artists who are right-handed is 0.90.
  b. The probability that the population proportion of artists who are right-handed is 0.83.
  c. The probability the sample proportion would be as small as 0.83, or even smaller, if the population proportion of artists who are right-handed is actually 0.90.
  d. The probability that the population proportion of artists who are right-handed is less than 0.90, given that the sample proportion is 0.83.
