Hi Dr. Newman,
For the final problem 7, question A, part 3, can you please clarify if “median 5-year survival” is a typo. I understand what median survival is (the amount of survival time when 50% of the subjects have died) and what 5-year survival is (the % of subjects still alive at 5 years), but median 5-year survival does not make sense to me (unless we are looking multiple studies and taking the median of the multiple 5-year survivals). This may not matter to answer the question but I just wanted to make sure I’m reading the question correctly.

Thanks, that was a mistake. I deleted the word "Median" from the version of the final I just uploaded.
