what did you think of the biology section?

Bio was on par with the bootcamp tests I think maybe a little easier, were some weird questions in there but I feel like that's unavoidable since there's such a wide scope for Bio. Otherwise it was pretty straight forward!

https://www.reddit.com/r/explainlik...i5_if_a_couple_has_five_sons_how_is_possible/

Copy/paste from reddit 3 years ago lol

QUESTION
If a couple has five sons, how is possible that their next baby has a 50% chance of being a boy while it is simultaneously statistically unlikely that they'll have six boys?

ANSWER
The two probabilities coexist because you are asking different questions.

Question 1: Given that a couple has 5 sons, what is the probability that their next child is also a boy? Answer: 50%, because the genders of the previous siblings does not affect the next outcome.

Question 2: What is the probability that a family with 6 children has 6 sons? Answer: (1/2)6 , or less than 2 percent.

Think about it this way: For every family of 5 sons, there will be many more families with a mix of sons and daughters.

Congratulations! Excellent scores! Your sacrifice paid off, you may have lost a summer but you will gain admission to dental school.

Wishing you the best..

I would read the first few paragraphs really closely and get the big ideas of the article then read about half quickly. Then I'd answer a few questions until I came upon something I didn't read yet then continue reading. After that I just kinda went back and forth and did search and destroy.
