1. A person with type O blood can donate red blood cells to anybody because type O blood is the universal donor blood type. About 44% of the US population has type O blood. You are asked to design a simulation to determine the probability that at least 3 of 10 people will have type O blood.

Part A: Conduct five trials using the following table of random digits:

96299 07196 98642 20639 23185 56282 69929 14125 38872 94168

71622 35940 81807 59225 18192 08710 80777 84395 69563 86280

03272 41230 81739 74797 70406 18564 69273 72532 78340 36699

46376 58596 14365 63685 56555 42974 72944 96463 63530 24152

47352 04266 74017 79319 70170 96572 08523 56025 89077 57678

Part B: Based on your simulation, what is the probability that at LEAST 3 of 10 people will have type O blood?

2. It is the morning of the day that senior class presidents Anna and Sean have worked toward for weeks: the Senior Class Picnic! Anna reads, with some distress, that there is a 60% probability of rain in their area today. Which of the following BEST describes the MOST likely way the probability was determined? 

A. It rains 60% of the time on this date every year.

B. Historically, in the United States, it has rained 60% of the time on days with similar meteorological conditions as today.

C. Historically, it rains 60% of the days during this month.

D. Historically, in the area, it has rained 60% of the time on days with similar meteorological conditions as today.
