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" );
document.write( "In this case p = .94  and  q = .06
\n" );
document.write( "nCx = 
\n" );
document.write( "P(5 failures in 15 treatments) = 15C5(.06)^5(.94)^10 \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
