Assume a small tumour contains 1 million cells. If the tumour is treated with a drug that kills any individual cell with a probability of 99.7%, what is the relative probability that 500 cells remain alive vs. 1500 cells remain alive after treatment? P(500) - P(1500) P(500) > P(1500) P(500) < P(1500)
