Human blood is classified by the presence or absence of three main antigens (A, B, and Rh). When a blood specimen is typed, the presence of the A and/or B antigen is indicated by listing the letter A and/or the letter B. If neither the A nor the B antigen is present, the letter O is used. The following table gives the percent of a country's population having each of the eight possible blood types in the sample space. Note that the presence or absence of the Rh antigen is indicated by the symbols + or −, respectively. Blood Types A+ A− B+ B− AB+ AB− O+ O− Percent 35.9 6.3 9.5 2.5 3.2 0.8 37.4 4.4 (a) What is the probability that a person selected at random from the population has a blood type that is type A given that the person is Rh−? (Round your answer to two decimal places.) (b) What is the probability that a person selected at random from the population has a blood type that is Rh+ given that the person is type B? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
