During one month, a blood donation center found that:
45.8% of donors had the A antigen
14.2% of donors had the B antigen
4.1% of donors had the A antigen and the B antigen
84.7% of donors were Rh+
87.2% of the donors had the B antigen or were Rh+
-------------------------------------------
Find the percent of donors that:
a. P(have the A antigen or the B antigen) = 45.8+14.2 = 60%
-------------------
b P(have the B antigen and are Rh+) = P(B+)+P(Rh+)-P(B+ or Rh+)
= 45.8+54.7-60 = 40.5%
