SUMMARY

The probability of selecting a person with type O blood from a group of 200 individuals is 30%, calculated by dividing the 60 individuals with type O blood by the total of 200. Similarly, the probability of selecting a person with type AB blood is 12.5%, derived from the 25 individuals with type AB blood. These calculations illustrate the fundamental principles of probability in a practical context.

  1. The blood groups of 200 people are distributed as follows: 40 have type A blood, 75 have type B blood, 60 have type O blood, and 25 have type AB blood. If a person from any of the group is selected at random, what is the probability that this person has an O blood type? How about the AB blood type? i hope you will help me.

Do you not know the basic definition of probability? You are told that, out of 200 people, 60 have type O blood. 60 is what percent of 200? You are told that, out of 200 people, 25 have type AB blood. 25 is what percent of 200?
