mea Give the sample space for this 4.17 Distribution of blood types. All human blood can be "ABO-typed" as one of O, A, B, or AB, but the distribution of the types varies a bit among groups of people. Here is the distribution of blood types for a randomly chosen person in the United States:? Blood type A AB U.S. probability 0.42 0.11 0.03 (a) What is the probability of type O blood in the United States? (b) Sasha has type A blood. She can safely receive blood transfusions from people with blood types O and A. What is the probability that a randomly chosen person from the United States can donate blood to Sasha? (This exercise and the one that follows ignore the Rh factor, another classification of blood types that is related to whether one person can donate blood to another.)
