MHB Probability of O & AB Blood Types

AI Thread Summary
To find the probability of selecting a person with type O blood from a group of 200, divide the number of people with type O blood (60) by the total number of people (200), resulting in a probability of 0.3 or 30%. For type AB blood, divide the number of people with type AB blood (25) by the total, yielding a probability of 0.125 or 12.5%. The calculations illustrate basic probability principles, emphasizing the importance of understanding percentages in relation to total counts. This discussion highlights the practical application of probability in determining blood type distributions. Understanding these calculations is essential for accurate statistical analysis.

  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?
 
Suppose ,instead of the usual x,y coordinate system with an I basis vector along the x -axis and a corresponding j basis vector along the y-axis we instead have a different pair of basis vectors ,call them e and f along their respective axes. I have seen that this is an important subject in maths My question is what physical applications does such a model apply to? I am asking here because I have devoted quite a lot of time in the past to understanding convectors and the dual...
Fermat's Last Theorem has long been one of the most famous mathematical problems, and is now one of the most famous theorems. It simply states that the equation $$ a^n+b^n=c^n $$ has no solutions with positive integers if ##n>2.## It was named after Pierre de Fermat (1607-1665). The problem itself stems from the book Arithmetica by Diophantus of Alexandria. It gained popularity because Fermat noted in his copy "Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos, et...
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. In Dirac’s Principles of Quantum Mechanics published in 1930 he introduced a “convenient notation” he referred to as a “delta function” which he treated as a continuum analog to the discrete Kronecker delta. The Kronecker delta is simply the indexed components of the identity operator in matrix algebra Source: https://www.physicsforums.com/insights/what-exactly-is-diracs-delta-function/ by...
