Supplementary Exercise 9.39 of IPS7e ------------------------------------ Many solutions are possible, and they are all valid (provided the table adds up). With fixed margins, only one of the values a,b,c,d are required to determine the table. That is, knowing e.g. the value of a, the rest will come automatically. Some examples: a=100: 100 100 100 100 a=50: 50 150 150 50 a=200: 200 0 0 200 a=0: 0 200 200 0 Clearly, the requirement is that 0<=a<=200.
