The following table shows the blood groups of 60 students of a class :
`|{:("Blood groups A B O AB"),("Number of students 16 12 23 9"):}|`
One student of the class is chosen at random. What is the probability that the chosen student has blood group?
`"(i) O (ii) AB (iii) A (iv) B"`

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will calculate the probability of selecting a student with each specified blood group from the given data. ### Given Data: - Total number of students = 60 - Number of students with blood group A = 16 - Number of students with blood group B = 12 - Number of students with blood group O = 23 - Number of students with blood group AB = 9 ### Probability Formula: The probability \( P \) of an event is given by the formula: \[ P(\text{Event}) = \frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}} \] ### Step-by-Step Solution: #### (i) Probability of having blood group O: 1. **Identify the number of favorable outcomes**: Number of students with blood group O = 23. 2. **Total outcomes**: Total number of students = 60. 3. **Calculate the probability**: \[ P(O) = \frac{23}{60} \] #### (ii) Probability of having blood group AB: 1. **Identify the number of favorable outcomes**: Number of students with blood group AB = 9. 2. **Total outcomes**: Total number of students = 60. 3. **Calculate the probability**: \[ P(AB) = \frac{9}{60} = \frac{3}{20} \] #### (iii) Probability of having blood group A: 1. **Identify the number of favorable outcomes**: Number of students with blood group A = 16. 2. **Total outcomes**: Total number of students = 60. 3. **Calculate the probability**: \[ P(A) = \frac{16}{60} = \frac{4}{15} \] #### (iv) Probability of having blood group B: 1. **Identify the number of favorable outcomes**: Number of students with blood group B = 12. 2. **Total outcomes**: Total number of students = 60. 3. **Calculate the probability**: \[ P(B) = \frac{12}{60} = \frac{1}{5} \] ### Final Answers: - (i) Probability of having blood group O = \( \frac{23}{60} \) - (ii) Probability of having blood group AB = \( \frac{3}{20} \) - (iii) Probability of having blood group A = \( \frac{4}{15} \) - (iv) Probability of having blood group B = \( \frac{1}{5} \)
