Default Re: Genetics prob from book that I cant get (probability type)

I don't know anything about biology, but I'm pretty sure it's .25.

For every 6 50 year-olds, 3 have nothing, 1 has disease+nosymptoms, 2 have disease+symptoms. You know he's not in the last category, so it's 3-1 against having it, right?
