Detailed Solution

Given a data about the blood group of 30 students.
{A,B,O,O,AB,O,A,O,B,A,O,B,A,O,O,A,AB,O,A,A,O,O,AB,B,A,O,B,A,B,O}  
We have to find the probability that the blood group of the chosen kid is AB.
The probability of an event A is given by,
P(A)= Number of favourable outcomes Total number of outcomes  
The sample space has a number of events that is, n(S)=30  .
Let Z be the event of choosing the student with AB blood group, then, n(Z) = 3.
The probability of the event Z   is,
P(Z)= n(Z) n(S) P(Z)= 3 30 P(Z)= 1 10  
Hence, the probability that the blood group of the chosen kid is AB is 1 10  .
Therefore, option 4 is the correct option.
