Question

Question content area topPart 1A medical researcher administers an experimental medical treatment to patients. The patients in the study are categorized by blood types A, B, AB, and O. The researcher observed that the treatment had a favorable outcome for of the patients with blood type A, of the patients with blood type B, of the patients with blood type AB, and none of the patients with blood type O. Use this information to complete parts (a) through (d).

Answer 1

In this case, we'll have to carry out several steps to find the solution.

Step 01:

Data:

total patients = 300

type A:

total patients = 90

favourable patients = 27

type B:

total patients = 124

favourable patients = 31

type AB:

total patients = 6

favourable patients = 6

type O:

total patients = 80

favourable patients = 0

Step 02:

empirical probability:

probability = favourable outcomes / total outcomes

probability (A) = 27/ 90 = 0.3

probability (B) = 31 / 124 = 0.25

probability (AB) = 6 / 6 = 1

probability (O) = 0 / 80 = 0

That is the full solution.
