document.write( "The probability of 34% tells us that on the average,\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Therefore on the average, 100-34=66 times out of 100 \r\n" );
document.write( "it won't happen.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "The odds against is the comparison of the times it won't\r\n" );
document.write( "happen to the times it will:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Answer: 66 to 34 or, dividing each by 2, 33 to 17.\r\n" );
