document.write( "One Problem encountered by developers of the space shuttle program is air pollution in the area surrounding the launch site. A certain direction from the launch site is considered critical in terms of hydrogen chloride pollution from the exhaust cloud. It has been determined that weather conditions would cause emission cloud movement in the critical direction only 5% of time.Find the probability of each event. Assume that probabilities for a particular launch in no way depend on the probabilities for other launches. ( Give answer to two decimal places.)\r<BR>\n" );
