The American Red Cross says that about 11% of the U.S. population has Type B blood. A blood drive is being held at your school. How many blood donors should the American Red Cross expect to collect from until it gets a donor with Type B blood? 

• 9.1 donors
• 8.5 donors
• 10.3 donors
• Cannot be determined.

• 0.00001%
• 0.0064%
• 0.0002%
