\n" );
document.write( "Note: The probability of x successes in n trials is: 
\n" );
document.write( "P = nCx*  where p and q are the probabilities of success and failure respectively. 
\n" );

\n" );
document.write( "In this case p = .103 & q = .897
\n" );
document.write( "nCx = 
\n" );
document.write( "P( 2 randomly selected, taking stat because they wanted to) = (.103)^2 = .0106 \n" );
