Q36 Blood Group: Blood type or blood group is a medical term. It describes the type of
blood a person has. It isa classification of blood based on the presence or absence of
inherited antigenic substances on the surface of red blood cells (RBCs). Blood types predict
whether a serious reaction will occur in a blood transfusion.

blood, and 2 had type ABblood. Set up a frequency distribution and find the
following probabilities.
a) What is the probability that a person has type O blood?
b) What is the probability that a person has type A or type B blood?

c) What is the probability that a person has neither type A nor type O blood?

OR
c)What is the probability that a person does not have type AB blood?
