Question

9. -2 points My Notes Ask Your Suppose that the proportions of blood phenotypes in a particular population are as follows A B ABo 0.43 0.14 0.05 0.38 Assuming that the phenotypes of two randomly selected individuals are independent of one another, what is the probability that both phenotypes are O? (Enter your answer to four decimal places.) What is the probability that the phenotypes of two randomly selected individuals match? (Enter your answer to four decimal places.) Need Help?

Explanation / Answer

Probability that a phenotype is O = 0.38

The probability that two phenotypes are O = 0.38 * 0.38 = 0.1444

Probability that both phenotypes match = 0.43* 0.43 + 0.14*0.14 + 0.05*0.05 + 0.38*0.38 = 0.3514.
