Question

Every person has blood type O, A, B, or AB. A random group of people are blood-typed, and the results are shown in the table.



A 2-column table with 4 rows is shown. The first column is labeled Blood Type with entries O, A, B, AB. The second column is labeled Number of People with entries 22, 20, 6, 2.

Use the table to determine the following probabilities.

The probability that a randomly chosen person from this group has type B is
.

The probability that a randomly chosen person from this group has type AB is
.

The probability that a randomly chosen person from this group has type B or type AB blood is

Answer 1

Total people = 22 + 20 + 6 + 2 = 50.

- P(type B) = 6/50 = 3/25 = 0.12.
- P(type AB) = 2/50 = 1/25 = 0.04.
- P(type B or AB) = (6+2)/50 = 8/50 = 4/25 = 0.16.
