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 
\n" );
document.write( "respectively. In this case p = .60 and q = .40
\n" );
document.write( "nCx =   n = 20 and x = 10
\n" );
document.write( "P(>10 passing out of 20) = .7553 = P(11) + P(12)+...P(20)
\n" );
document.write( "for example:
\n" );
document.write( "P(11)= 167960(.6)^11).4)^9 = .1597    | 20C11 = 167960 \n" );
