humpolec comments on Simpson’s Paradox

Something is wrong with the numbers here:

The probability that a randomly chosen man surived given that they were given treatment A is ⁴⁰⁄₁₀₀ = 0.2

thanks for pointing this out. Fixed.

Check the chart- the 40 is a typo. It should be 20/​100=0.2

Oh, right. Somehow I was expecting it to be 40 and 0.4. Now it makes sense.
