Updated by Nicole to add: This is regarding P1.T1.QA-1 Chapter 1 Probability

Appears to be an error on page 21 of the VitalSource books. The Bernouli distribution doesn't calc to 14.6%. That or either I'm wrong (equally possible).

@David Harper CFA FRM If you get the chance, could you take a quick look at this to let me know if it is an error? I am currently in the process of updating the Quant Notes for Vital Source and want to make sure all errors are fixed before publishing the updates. Thanks!

Hi Nicole and David -- please ignore this request. Found later the parentheticals were shorthand for another another formula that requires factorials. Essentially the (10/6) should be 10!/(10-6)!(6!). Worked perfectly after making the substitution. Thanks!
