A medical researcher must choose 14 patients to receive

by aaron.anglada Tue Sep 08, 2009 5:53 pm

Hello,

On pages 99-100 of the Word Translations Strategy Guide (3rd Edition), there is a probability problem that is solved in the guide using a symmetry method. I would just like to see how the "P(Progaine or Ropecia)" problem is solved "the long way."

Thanks VM!

Here's a solution to this problem (both long way and "symmetry" approach). If you have additional questions, let me know. Thanks!
