Chapter 5: Q 45. (page 309)

Blood types All human blood can be typed as one of O,A,B,or AB,but the distribution of the types varies a bit with race. Here is the distribution of the blood type of a randomly chosen black American: Blood type: OABABProbability: 0.490.270.20?

(a) What is the probability of type AB blood? Why?

(b) What is the probability that the person chosen does not have type ABblood?

(c) Maria has type Bblood. She can safely receive blood transfusions from people with blood types Oand BWhat is the probability that a randomly chosen black American can donate blood to Maria?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Part (a) The probability of type AB 0.04

Part (b) The probability of not type 0.96

Part (c) The probability is 0.69

Step by step solution

01

Part (a)  Step 1. Given Information  

There is a table with all of the different types of human blood.

02

Part (a) Step 2. Concept Used   

An event is a subset of an experiment's total number of outcomes. The ratio of the number of elements in an event to the number of total outcomes is the probability of that occurrence.

03

Part (a)  Step 3. Calculation   

The probability distribution must meet the following conditions: 1) The probabilities must be 0鈮�p鈮�1 2) the Sum of all the probabilities should be 1 Using condition 2 ,0.49+0.27+0.20+P(B)=1PAB=1-0.96=0.04

04

Part (b) Step 1. Calculation    

Using the complementary probability formula,PAc=1-PAPnotAB=1-PAB=1-0.04=0.96

05

Part (c) Step 1. Calculation   

PAorB=PA+PB

Using formula.

POorB=PO+PBPOorB=0.49+0.20=0.69

Most popular questions from this chapter

Sampling senators Refer to Exercise 67. Are events D and F independent? Justify your answer.

Taking the train According to New Jersey Transit, the 8:00 a.m. weekday train from Princeton to New York City has a 90% chance of arriving on time. To test this claim, an auditor chooses 6 weekdays at random during a month to ride this train. The train arrives late on 2 of those days. Does the auditor have convincing evidence that the company鈥檚 claim isn鈥檛 true? Design and carry out a simulation to answer this question. Follow the four-step process.

Spinning a quarter With your forefinger, hold a new quarter (with a state featured on the reverse) upright, on its edge, on a hard surface. Then flick it with your other forefinger so that it spins for some time before it falls and comes to rest. Spin the coin a total of 25 times, and record the results.

(a) What鈥檚 your estimate for the probability of heads? Why?

(b) Explain how you could get an even better estimate.

Get rich Refer to Exercise 63.

(a) Find P(鈥渁 good chance鈥� | female).

(b) Find P(鈥渁 good chance鈥�).

(c) Use your answers to (a) and (b) to determine whether the events 鈥渁 good chance鈥� and 鈥渇emale鈥� are

independent. Explain your reasoning.

Simulation blunders Explain what鈥檚 wrong with each of the following simulation designs.

(a) According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 26%of U.S. adults were obese in 2008. To simulate choosing 8adults at random and seeing how many are obese, we could use two digits. Let 01to 26represent obese and 27to 00represents not obese. Move across a row in Table D, two digits at a time, until you find 8 distinct numbers (no repeats). Record the number of obese people selected.

(b) Assume that the probability of a newborn being a boy is 0.5. To simulate choosing a random sample of 9babies who were born at a local hospital today and observing their gender, use one digit. Use ran dint (0,9) on your calculator to determine how many babies in the sample are male.
