According to the American Red Cross, about one out of nine people in the U.S. have Type B blood. Suppose the blood types of people arriving at a blood drive are independent. In this case, the number of Type B blood types that arrive roughly follows the Poisson distribution.
a. If people arrive, how many on average would be expected to have Type B blood?
b. What is the probability that over people out of these 100 have type B blood?
c. What is the probability that more than people arrive before a person with type B blood is found?
