Explain Please


Math wasn't my strongest subject in school.  So when I came across this fact, I wondered how it was possible?

Mothers over the age of 40 are 128% more likely to have a left-handed baby than mothers in their 20s.

I don’t understand how the percentage can be over 100%.  Does this mean that all babies born to mothers over 40 are left-handed or what? 

I don’t know.

  1. This is strange. I feel like 40 really isn't even that old to have a child either. I mean yeah its older than someone having a baby in their 20s, but still, its not extremely old.
