Explanation / Answer

10.31 a) P(Both American and Chinese have type O blood)

= 0.35*0.45

= 0.1575

b) P(Both American and Chinese have same type blood)

= P(Both have type O) + P(Both have Type A) + P(Both have type B) + P(Both have type AB)

= 0.35*0.45 + 0.27*0.40 + 0.26*0.11 + 0.12*0.04

= 0.2989
