when the weather person says, \"There is a 30% chance of rain\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "they could have said, \"The probability of rain is 30%\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "or, \"The probability of rain is .3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "or, \"The probability of rain is 3/10\" ___ this is the fractional probability\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
