Can we find all the infected samples in fewer than ntests?STAT 702/J702 B.Habing Univ. of S.C. 11Consider the case of splitting each of nsamples in half. Combine half of each one is placed into a large combined pool.Should this work better?STAT 702/J702 B.Habing Univ. of S.C. 12Now consider that we divide the msamples into mgroups of size
