The question requires calculating the probability of an event by counting favorable outcomes over total outcomes in a finite uniform sample space (e.g., drawing balls, rolling dice, selecting cards, choosing points).
4. An individual is said to be a "universal donor" when their blood can be transfused to any person without risk of incompatibility. Blood group O with negative rhesus is the only one satisfying this characteristic. [Figure] Show that the probability that an individual chosen at random from the French population is a universal donor is 0.0714.

José, Paulo, and Antônio are playing fair dice, on which, on each of the six faces, there is a number from 1 to 6. Each of them will roll two dice simultaneously. José believes that, after rolling his dice, the numbers on the faces facing up will give him a sum equal to 7. Paulo believes that his sum will be equal to 4, and Antônio believes that his sum will be equal to 8. With this choice, who has the greatest probability of getting their respective sum correct is (A) Antônio, since his sum is the largest of all the chosen ones. (B) José and Antônio, since there are 6 possibilities for both José's choice and Antônio's choice, and there are only 4 possibilities for Paulo's choice. (C) José and Antônio, since there are 3 possibilities for both José's choice and Antônio's choice, and there are only 2 possibilities for Paulo's choice. (D) José, since there are 6 possibilities to form his sum, 5 possibilities to form Antônio's sum, and only 3 possibilities to form Paulo's sum. (E) Paulo, since his sum is the smallest of all.

The figure illustrates a game of Minesweeper, the game present in practically every personal computer. Four squares on a $16 \times 16$ board were opened, and the numbers on their faces indicate how many of their 8 neighbors contain mines (to be avoided). The number 40 in the lower right corner is the total number of mines on the board, whose positions were chosen at random, uniformly, before opening any square. In his next move, the player must choose among the squares marked with the letters $P, Q, R, S$ and $T$ one to open, and should choose the one with the lowest probability of containing a mine. The player should open the square marked with the letter (A) $P$. (B) $Q$. (C) $R$. (D) $S$. (E) $T$.

Among $3n$ cards labeled with the numbers $1,2,3 , \cdots , 3 n$ ($n$ is a natural number), two cards are randomly drawn, and the two numbers on them are denoted as $a , b$ ($a < b$) respectively. Let $\mathrm { P } _ { n }$ be the probability that $3 a < b$. The following is the process of finding $\lim _ { n \rightarrow \infty } \mathrm { P } _ { n }$. The number of ways to draw 2 cards from $3 n$ cards is ${ } _ { 3 n } \mathrm { C } _ { 2 }$. When $3 a < b$, we have $b \leqq 3 n$, so $1 \leqq a < n$. Therefore, if $a = k$, the number of cases of $b$ satisfying $3 a < b$ is (A), so $$\mathrm { P } _ { n } = \frac { \text { (B) } } { { } _ { 3 n } \mathrm { C } _ { 2 } } \text { . }$$ Therefore, $\lim _ { n \rightarrow \infty } \mathrm { P } _ { n } =$ (C). What are the correct values for (A), (B), and (C)? [4 points]
