1.) I am trying to left justify the contents of a table holding several equations.
Sadly, my short term hack is to insert numerous "\quad" entries in an effort to allign the entries of each cell.
It is okay, but I am wondering if there is a better way than entering numerous "\quad" spacers? Do you see a better way?
2.) I inserted one of the example tables from the "Using Tables" in a homework problem. But unfortunately bookending the table code block with $BELFT and $ELEFT does not bring the example table (the second table in this HW problem) to the left side of the page.
How can I have this type of table left justified?
Many Thanks for the help over this long Summer....

4B.2) Red-green color blindness is due to mutations of two genes that produce red and green light sensitive proteins on the X chromosome. Men are much more likely to inherit the condition as males have only one X chromosome. Women can inherit color blindness too, it is just that they must carry the recessive trait on both of their X chromosomes. Word wide about 8% of men are red-green color blind compared with 0.5% of women. Suppose that on a particular rural college campus the incidence of color blindness is one out of every ($b) men and one out of every ($g) women. If the percentage of women on a college campus is (w%), and the rest are male, find the probability of drawing a student that is red-green colorblind using the given declared event variables with correct probability notation.
Use the the following event variable declarations within probability notation to find the associated probabilities with fourth decimal accuracy.
[`C`] = Event that a randomly drawn student has the condition of (condition).
[`M`] = Event that a randomly drawn student is male.
[`F`] = Event that a randomly drawn student is female.
4B.2a) Find the probability of randomly drawing a student that has the condition of red-green color blindness. Use the table below to determine the correct notation expansion and then find the numeric probability with fourth decimal accuracy.

To determine whether two events are independent we look at the calculation for the probability of the [$popup5->menu]* of the two events. The following equation [$popup6->menu]* is always true when calculating for the [$popup7->menu]* between events. However it is only this equation, [$popup8->menu]*, that is true when the two given events are independent of each other. Accordingly, we set these two equations equal to each other and if their numerical probabilities are equal we have verified that the two events are independent.
Using fourth decimal accuracy, the calculation of both of these probability equations found that the first probability was [$popup9->menu]* = [______] while the [$popup10->menu]* = [______].
Since these probabilities [$popup11->menu]* equal then we know that the condition of red-green color blindness is [$popup12->menu]* whether a male or female student is drawn.
