Exercise 01

1. Find the mean, standard deviation, and variance of the following datasets:

(a) 36, 84, 59, 55, 92, 29, 76, 76

(b) 39, 57, 8, 6, 54, 78, 94, 13, 57

2. The Red Cross says that about 45% of the population has Type O blood, 40% Type
A, 11% Type B, and the rest Type AB.

(a) Consider one donor who is randomly selected from the population. What is the
probability that this donor
i. has Type AB blood?
ii. has Type A or Type B?
iii. is not Type O?
(b) Consider two potential donors. What is the probability that
i. both are Type O?
ii. no one is Type AB?
iii. not both are Type A?
iv. at least one person is Type B?
(c) Suppose 60% of Type O donors carry the disease D but only 20% of the donors
of the other types carry this disease.
i. A volunteer is going to give blood. What is the probability that this donor
A. has Type O and carries the disease D?
B. is not Type O and does not carry the disease D?
C. carries the disease D?
D. has Type O or carries the disease D?
ii. Suppose it is known that a donor carries the disease D. What is the pro-
bability that her blood type is O?
