Question10. People with type O-negative blood are universal donors. That is, any patient can receive a transfusion of O-negative blood. Only 7.2\% of the American population has O-negative blood. If 10 Americans are randomly selected, what is the probability that at least 1 of them is a universal donor? a) 0 b) 0.474 c) 0.526 d) 0.720 e) 1

Studdy Solution
Use the complement rule to find the probability that at least one person has O-negative blood:
1(0.92810)=10.476=0.524 1 - (0.928^{10}) = 1 - 0.476 = 0.524
The probability that at least one of the 10 randomly selected Americans is a universal donor is approximately:
0.524 \boxed{0.524}
