Chapter 13, Problem 6AWK
A student finishes up the fall semester with several term papers and a number of big exams. After the semester, she goes home for the holidays and comes down with a bad cold. The following year the same thing happens; she's sick for the holidays. During her senior year, the fall semester isn't too bad, but applications to graduate school are due and she spends most of her semester break filling out forms and nervously worrying about what she will do next year. She's again sick for the beginning of the next term. Is this student just unlucky, or is something else at work?
