Question

Two antigens, antigen A and antigen B, determine the four major human blood groups: A, B, AB, and O. The table below shows the percentage distribution of blood groups for the Caucasian population in the United States (American Red Cross, 2016 Blood group Antigen Distribution A BA, BNone 40% | 11% | 4% | 45% Calculate the probability of randomly picking a blood sample that contains antigen B, that is, a blood sample that belongs to either blood group B or blood group AB. Give your answer as a whole number percentage. Probability = 14

Explanation / Answer

Solution:

Probability that we pick group B or AB = 0.11 + 0.04

= 0.15

= 15%

Antigen probability A 0.4 B 0.11 A,B 0.04 None 0.45
