document.write( "Question: Charlie is 5 years old. He is a very picky eater and can count to 5. His dad makes him a giant bowl of grapes containing only good grapes with the same proportion of red, green, and black grapes. (0.22 Green grapes, 0.24 Black grapes, and 0.54 red grapes. I calculated this in the previous problem.) Charlie randomly picks out 5 grapes from the bowl with replacement after each grape. Charlie will eat one of the grapes that has the majority in 5. If there is a tie, Charlie will not eat a grape in that round. Charlie's dad replaces the grape that has been eaten after each round.\r

document.write( "a) Let g be the event of Charlie eating a green grape. Determine the theoretical probability of event g, P(g)\r
