The proportions of blood phenotypes A, B, AB, and O in the population of allCaucasians in the United States are reported as .40, .11, .04, and .45, respectively.¹ Ifa single Caucasian is chosen randomly from the population, what is the probabilitythat he or she will have either type A or type AB blood?

From the provided information, P (A) = 0.40, P (B) = 0.11, P (AB) = 0.04 and P (O) = 0.45
