In the US, the gear shift for a car with a manual
transmission is on the right-hand side of the driver.

driving a manual transmission car? To answer this
question, several drivers were surveyed about their
handedness and the type of transmission they have in
their automobile. The results are displayed below.
Which of the following statements is true, according to
the graph?
O There was an equal number of left-handed people
and right-handed people chosen for the survey.

a manual transmission than left-handed people.
