You have 300 people with disease X, which causes a 100% chance of death. Of the 300, half have genetic marker A and half have genetic marker B. You have 100 doses of a drug. For people with marker A it cuts the risk of death to 10%. For people with marker B it only cuts it to 50%.

How many of the 100 doses do you give to people with genetic marker B?

Answer:

Personal opinion

Step-by-step explanation:

In my opinion, I would do 100 doses for marker B. I wouldn't wish to waste them on people who have a 90% chance of dying with it. At most, one or two would survive if you give all 150 genetic A markers a dose, so its even less with only 100. This answer is meant to be your own personal opinion on the matter. (unless its meant to be a probability check)
