Solution

To find the probability of a person having type O blood, you need to divide the number of people with type O blood by the total number of people in the sample.

Step 1: Identify the total number of people in the sample. In this case, the total number of people is 50.

Step 2: Identify the number of people with type O blood. In this case, 21 people have type O blood.

Step 3: Divide the number of people with type O blood by the total number of people.

So, the calculation is 21 (people with type O blood) ÷ 50 (total people) = 0.42

Therefore, the probability of a person having type O blood is 0.42 or 42%.
