What is the probability of getting at most 25 lefties in a jury selection?

In Androscoggin County, 12% of those eligible for jury duty are left-handed. among 250 people selected for jury duty, 25 (or 10%) are lefties. Find the probability of getting at most 25 lefties uming that they are chosen with a process designed to yield a 12% rate of lefties. Can we conclude that this process of selecting jurors discriminates against lefties?
