The following table shows the blood groups of 40 students of a class.

Blood group A B O AB

Number of students 11 9 14 6

One student of the class is chosen at random. What is the probability that the chosen student's blood group is
(i) O?
(ii) AB?

Solution

Total number of students = 40
(i) Number of students with blood group O = 14
Let E₁ be the event that the selected student's blood group is O.

∴ Required probability = P(E₁) = $\frac{14}{40} = 0.35$

(ii) Number of students with blood group AB = 6

Let E₂ be the event that the selected student's blood group is AB.

∴ Required probability = P(E₂) = $\frac{6}{40} = 0.15$
