Question

t the Blood Bank, they know that O+ blood is the most common blood type and that 40%40% of the people are known to have O+ blood. Blood type A- is a very scarce blood type and only 6%6% of the people have A- blood. Half of the people have blood type A or B

Let:

  • X=X= number of people who have blood type O+
  • Y=Y= number of people who have blood type A-
  • Z=Z= number of people who have blood type A or B

 

 

Consider a random sample of n = 11 people who donated blood over the past three months.

Expert Solution
Step 1

A random variable x will follow the binomial distribution if the following conditions are satisfied.

  1. There are total n number of fixed trials.
  2. Each trial has two possible outcomes.
  3. The probability of success p in each trial is equal.
  4. Each trial is independent.

The probability mass function of binomial distribution is Px=nxpx1-pn-x. The binomial random variable x represents the number of successful trials out of total n trials. The expected value of binomial random variable is Ex=np.
