With replacement, multiply the probabilities.
\n" ); document.write( "type)O A B AB
\n" ); document.write( "Rh+ 95 97 38 17 =247
\n" ); document.write( "Rh- 25 16 8 4 ;;;;=53
\n" ); document.write( " ;;;;120/113/46/21=300
\n" ); document.write( "A+ is 97/300
\n" ); document.write( "With replacement the probability of 2 is (97/300)^2=0.1045
\n" ); document.write( "Without replacement, the probability is (97/300)*(96/299)=0.1038
\n" ); document.write( "The numerator and the denominator both decrease 1, and because of the relatively large sample, the change in probability is not much. It is lower, and it should be with one less A+ to choose from.
