Choose an American and a Chinese at random, independently of each other. What is the probability that they both have the same blood type? (Remember to express your answer as a proportion.)
probability of US = 0.2
probability of china = 0.2
------------
P(same blood type)
= 0.2*0.2
= 0.04
= 4/100
= 1/25
