In Quebec, 46% of people have blood group O, 42% have group A, 9% have group B and 3% have group AB. We assumes that the blood types of the spouses are independent. What is the probability that in a couple a) the two spouses are both from group A? b) one spouse is from group O and the other is from group B?

Human blood may contain either or both of two antigens, A and B. Blood that contains only the A antigen is called type A, blood that contains only the B antigen is called type B, blood that contains both antigens is called type AB, and blood that contains neither antigen is called type O. At a certain blood bank, 35% of the blood donors have type A blood, 10% have type B, and 5% have type AB. a) What is the probability that a randomly chosen blood donor is type O? b) A recipient with type A blood may safely receive blood from a donor whose blood does not contain the B antigen. What is the probability that a randomly chosen blood donor may donate to a recipient with type A blood?
