Question

In brianna's homeroom class, 9% of the students were born in march and 40% of the students have a blood type of o+.

what is the probability of a student chosen at random from tania's homeroom class being born in march and having a blood type of o+?

(enter the answer as a percent)

Answer 1

3.6%

Explanation:

Because the two events are independent, their probabilities are multiplied, so the probability of a student being born in March and having a blood type of O+ is 9% * 40% = 0.09 * 0.40 = 0.036 = 3.6%
