\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Write the decimal 0.7 as a fraction .  It doesn't reduce.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "probability = 0.7 = , which means 7 successes out of 10 trials, \r\n" );
document.write( "which means 7 successes to 10-7 = 3 failures\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Odds in favor means successes : failures, so that's \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "7 successes to 3 failures or  7:3\r\n" );
