Human blood groups are identified by two parts. The first part is A, B, AB or O and the second part (the Rhesus part) is + or −. In the UK, 35% of the population are group A+, 8% are B+, 3% are AB+, 37% are O+, 7% are A−, 2% are B−, 1% are AB− and 7% are O−.
A random sample of 9 people in the UK who are Rhesus + is taken. Find the probability that fewer than 3 are group O+.
