A student is selected at random from the class from blood donation, Fin the probability that the blood group of the student chosen is:
(i) A
(ii) B
(iii) AB
(iv) O



Answer -

The total number of trials is 30.
Remember the empirical or experimental or observed frequency approach to probability.
If n be the total number of trials of an experiment and A is an event associated to it such that A happens in m-trials. Then the empirical probability of happening of event A is denoted by and is given by
 
(i) Let A1 be the event that the blood group of a chosen student is A.
The number of times A1 happens is 9.
Therefore, we have
(iii) Let A2 be the event that the blood group of a chosen student is B.
The number of times A2 happens is 6.
Therefore, we have
(iii) Let A3 be the event that the blood group of a chosen student is AB.
The number of times A3 happens is 3.
Therefore, we have
 
(iv) Let A4 be the event that the blood group of a chosen student is O.
The number of times A4 happens is 12.
Therefore, we have
