14. The probability that a person can get infected with a rare type of blood disorder is very
small. Suppose that a blood test performed on 10,000 people showed that two persons
tested positive that is, a 0.02% chance of getting this type of blood disorder. This
probability measure was calculated using
(a) conditional probability approach.
(b) marginal probability.
(c) relative frequency approach
(d) classical approach.
