"A blood bank for a local hospital has a supply of plasma for which some have been contaminated with a virus causing hepatitis.

If 7 of the 48 units in the supply are contaminated, what is the probability that a severely injured accident victim given 5 units of plasma will not be exposed to the hepatitis virus

Answer:

The probability that the victim not getting hepatitis virus is 0.4547  

Explanation:

We have given that 7 of 48 units of blood is contaminated with virus causing hepatitis.

So probability of getting hepatitis virus is =\frac{7}{48}=0.1458

So probability of not getting hepatitis virus = 1 - 0.1458 = 0.8542

It is given that severely injured accident victim given 5 units of plasma

So probability that the victim not getting hepatitis virus = 0.8542^5=0.4547

So the probability that the victim not getting hepatitis virus is 0.4547

DNA is the genetic material found in the cells of living organisms. Among the characteristics of the DNA that makes up the genetic code, it is said to be nearly universal though. DNA is said to be the "blueprint of life".

This means that the DNA sequence that encodes protein and useful information is the same in almost all living organisms. Hence, the statement that "cells of all organisms contain DNA that is housed in a membrane-bound nucleus is the" justification that fact that all organisms share some basic features and life processes is used by biologists to explain the idea that all life.
