To calculate the probability that a randomly selected person has either Type A or Type AB blood from the given data, we first need to identify the counts for the blood types.

From the information provided, it seems that various counts (like 62/150, 66/150, etc.) could correspond to different populations. However, you did not provide the specific number of individuals with Type A and Type AB blood.

Let's assume the numbers given represent the number of individuals with Type A and Type AB blood in various segments of a population:

  1. Add the individuals with Type A and Type AB blood together. Let's use hypothetical numbers for the example because the specific numbers are not provided.

For example:

  • Let's say there are 40 individuals with Type A blood.
  • And let's assume there are 20 individuals with Type AB blood.

Now we sum those:

  • Total with Type A or Type AB = 40 (Type A) + 20 (Type AB) = 60

Next, we need the total population size to compute the probability. Assuming we have a total of 150 individuals from the sample mentioned (as seen in the given fractions):

  • Total population = 150

Finally, we can calculate the probability:

  • Probability (Type A or Type AB) = (Number of Type A or Type AB individuals) / (Total population)
  • Probability = 60 / 150 = 0.4

Thus, the probability that a randomly selected person has either Type A or Type AB blood would be 0.4 or 40%.

Please replace the hypothetical values used for Type A and Type AB with actual counts to perform the actual calculation. If you have specific counts for Type A and Type AB blood, please provide them, and I can help you calculate the precise probability.
