(A) Probability that all three have type A positive blood is 0.0298.

(B) Probability that none of the three have type A positive blood is 0.3285.

(D) The events which can be considered unusual is of the first part (A).

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the probability that a person in the United States has type A positive blood is 31%.

Three unrelated people in the United states are selected at random.

The above situation can be represented through binomial distribution;

$P(X = r) = \binom{n}{r} \times p^{r} \times (1-p)^{n-r} ; x = 0,1,2,3,.....$

where, n = number of trials (samples) taken = 3 people

r = number of success

p = probability of success which in our question is probability that

a person in the United States has type A positive blood, i.e; 31%

Let X = Number of people in the United States has type A positive blood

So, X ~ Binom(n = 3, p = 0.31)

(A) Probability that all three have type A positive blood is given by = P(X = 3)

P(X = 3) = $\binom{3}{3} \times 0.31^{3} \times (1-0.31)^{3-3}$

= $1 \times 0.31^{3} \times 0.69^{0}$

= 0.0298

(B) Probability that none of the three have type A positive blood is given by = P(X = 0)

P(X = 0) = $\binom{3}{0} \times 0.31^{0} \times (1-0.31)^{3-0}$

= $1 \times 1\times 0.69^{3}$

= 0.3285

P(X $\geq$ 1) = 1 - P(X = 0)

= 1 - 0.3285

= 0.6715

(D) The events above which can be considered unusual is of the first part (A) whose probability is less than 5% because an event is considered unusual whose probability is less than 5%.

Since, the probability of all three people having type A positive blood is 2.98%, so this event is considered to be unusual.

Apsychology student wishes to investigate differences in political opinions between business majors and political science majors at her college. she randomly selects 100 students from the 260 business majors and 100 students from the 180 political science majors. does this sampling plan result in a simple random sample? why or why not? no, because each group of 200 students in the sample does not have the same chance of being selected. yes, because each group of 200 students in the sample has the same chance of being selected. no, because each individual student does not have an equal chance of being selected. yes, because each individual student has the same chance of being selected.
