 \r\n" );
document.write( "Probability is what percent of the time something will happen on the average.\r\n" );
document.write( "Propability could be expressed as a percent of the time, a decimal, or a\r\n" );
document.write( "fraction of the time.  It's \"unit\" is always of the time.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The coin is heavier on one side than the other and it lands heads only 35% of\r\n" );
document.write( "the time and it lands tails the other 65% of the time, on the average.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "You will flip a head only 35% of the time.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then 35% of the times that you flipped a head first, you'll flip a head a\r\n" );
document.write( "second time.  So that's 35% of 35% of the time.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Answer: 35% of 35% of the time. = (0.35)(0.35) = 0.1225 or only % of the time.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Andwer: 0.1225 of the time, 12.25% of the time or % of the time, or ths of the time.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
