A simplified model of the human blood-type system has four blood types: a, b,ab and o. thereare two antigens, anti-a and anti-b.

anti-a reacts with blood type a and ab, anti-breactswith b and ab.for a given person, the probability of type a blood is 0.34, type b is 0.12 and type o is 0.5.find theprobability that anti-b will react to this person's blood

First calculate the probability of type AB, which is the remainder after subtracting types A, B and O.

P(AB) = 1-(0.34+0.12+0.5) = 1-0.96 = 0.04

Anti-b will react with types B and AB, so 
P(reaction) = P(B)+P(AB) = 0.12 +  0.04 = 0.16

Answer: For this person, the probability of reaction with anti-b is 0.16

A. How do the Earth’s physical factors influence population density? When population growth increases in an area, what is happen
madreJ [45]

Question 1 The world's population is spread very unevenly. Some spaces are empty or very sparsely populated: we speak of human deserts:

• Cold polar environments are the least populated regions: the ground, frozen permanently, prevents any form of agriculture, the very low temperatures make the habitat difficult.

• The hot or cold desert environments are also not busy: the lack of rain and the strong heat during the day limit the activities of men. The only exceptions are oases.

• The role of relief is more difficult to define. High temperate mountains like the Alps are generally sparsely populated but tropical chains like the Andes have a high population density. However, men have generally settled in the plains, in the valleys (along with the rivers) and on the coasts.

There are also other factors unrelated to land factors that influence population density such as job availability, or even historical factors.

Question 2: Birth rate:

The birth rate (sometimes called the crude birth rate) is the ratio of the annual number of births to the average total population for that year. When the population grows, the contact between people will be more permanent, and it will increase the marriage rate, and thus the birth rate. Age structure:The age structure is a mode of graphical representation of the structure (of age as well as of sex) of a population which constitutes a synthetic image of the past, present and future of the population.When a population resides for a long time in the same place (in favorable conditions, not raising the death rate and without moving), this will vary the age structure by observing an increase in the elderly population.
