Matching probability question help! Medal Rewarded!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In a group of 100 persons, 85 had Rh positive blood (Rh factor present), 45 had Type O blood, and 38 had both type O and Rh positive blood. If one person had been selected at random from the group, what would the probability be: 1. that his blood type was Type O and Rh+? A. 3 /20 2. that his blood type was not O? B. 17/20 3. that his blood type was Rh-? C . 93/100 4. that his blood type was Type O and Rh-? D. 11/20 5. that his blood type was Rh+? E. 7/100 6. that his blood type was not Type O or else was Rh+? F. 19/50

a venn might be usefull

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats that

OpenStudy (amistre64):

its a diagraham that defines sets with circles

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh where can I find it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh

|dw:1366391462898:dw|

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if we add the 3 sections we get: 85+45-38 = 92 so there must be 8 people in the setup that had neither Rh or O

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok..Im following

OpenStudy (amistre64):

this helps us define the numbers involved and the combinations that they ask for

OpenStudy (amistre64):

1. that his blood type was Type O and Rh+? A. 38 /100 2. that his blood type was not O? B. (100 - 45)/100 3. that his blood type was Rh-? (not RH) C. (100 - 85)/100 4. that his blood type was Type O and notRh? D. 45/100 * C 5. that his blood type was Rh+? E. 85/100 6. that his blood type was not Type O or else was Rh+? F. B + E

OpenStudy (anonymous):

One question just so I know Im reading the diagram right. Is Rh. n. O , Rh.NOT.O?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

there are 2 symbols in set theory; "n" and "u" n = AND u = OR

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh I see, makes sense.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

"and" defines the intersection (commonality) of sets

OpenStudy (amistre64):

im thinking F might be off

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so #1 from what I see is A #2 is D

OpenStudy (amistre64):

|dw:1366392293192:dw| notO or Rh is: (100-7)/100 i had a repetition in there
