Is it true that about 10 percent of people worldwide are left-handed?
Unclear. One reference source states left-handers make up seven to ten percent of the world's population, and a peer-reviewed paper reports about 10% in Australia specifically. Neither item provides a direct worldwide figure at the strength the claim asserts.
