Only 7.2 percent of the population has O-negative blood A mobile blood center is visited by 20 donors in afternoon Let X denote number of universal donors among them probability that X is at least 2?

The probability that any given donor is a universal donor is 0.072.We need the probability that the number of universal donors in this group of 20 is not zero or one.Probability of getting zero universal donors: ( 1 - 0.072 )^20 = 0.224367Probability of getting one such donor: 0.348156 (given by the binomial probability density function: probability of one success in 20 trials with p=0.072)Total: 0.224367 + 0.348156 = 0.572523, the probability of zero or one donorsBut we want 1 - 0.572523 = 0.427477, the probability of getting two or more such donors.^ stands for 'to the power of'


What are the blood groups of the donors and its recipients?

Blood groups are classified into four main types: A, B, AB, and O, each of which can be Rh-positive or Rh-negative. Donors must match their blood type with that of the recipients to avoid transfusion reactions. For example, a person with type A blood can donate to individuals with type A or AB blood, while type O donors are universal donors and can give to all blood types. Conversely, AB recipients are universal recipients, able to receive blood from any group.
