An individual is need of a blood transfusion. Blood typing reveals the person has a blood type of AB-. What type (s) of blood can be used for their transfusion? All negative blood types because they have Rh factor All types because they are a universal recipient All negative blood types because they lack Rh factor Only type O because they are a specific recipient

Step 1
Since the individual has AB blood type, they can receive blood from donors with type A, type B, type AB, and type O (as type O is the universal donor). Show more…

Blood types: The blood type O negative is called the "universal donor" type, because it is the only blood type that may safely be transfused into any person. Therefore, when someone needs a transfusion in an emergency and their blood type cannot be determined, they are given type O negative blood. For this reason, donors with this blood type are crucial to blood banks. Unfortunately, this blood type is fairly rare; according to the Red Cross, only 7% of U.S. residents have type O negative blood. Assume that a blood bank has recruited 18 donors. Round the answers to four decimal places.

For this reason, donors with this blood type are crucial to blood banks. Unfortunately, this blood type is fairly rare; according to the Red Cross, only 7% of U.S. residents have type O negative blood. Assume that a blood bank has recruited 19 donors. Part 1 of 2 (a) What is the mean number of donors who have type O negative blood? Round the answer to two decimal places. The mean number of donors who have type O negative blood is . Part 2 of 2 (b) What is the standard deviation of the number of donors who have type O negative blood? Round the answer to four decimal places. The standard deviation of the number of donors who have type O negative blood is .
