document.write( "In Takeisha's case, we knew that p = 0.74, and we used that information to solve for E. In Jacob's case we know that E = 1.65, and we want to solve for p. To do this, use exactly the same procedure that you did with Takeisha, except instead of working with the number 0.74, simply use the symbol p. This should lead you to an equation involving p and E. Since you know the value of E in Jacob's case, plug in that value and solve for p. (It's a quadratic equation, so you'll need to use the quadratic formula.)\r<BR>\n" );
