Answer:

To find the probability that two people do not have blood type O, we can use the binomial probability formula:

P(x) = (n choose x) * p^x * (1 - p)^(n - x)

Where:

n is the number of people (5 in this case)

x is the number of people who do not have blood type O (2 in this case)

p is the probability of an individual having blood type O (0.25 in this case)

Plugging in the values, we get:

P(2) = (5 choose 2) * (0.25)^2 * (1 - 0.25)^(5 - 2)

= 10 * 0.0625 * 0.54

= 0.3375

So the probability that two people do not have blood type O is approximately 0.3375.
