document.write( "From the condition, 57.8% students have a computer - hence, the rest 100% - 57.8% = 42.2% do not have a computer.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So the probability that the student selected at random has no computer is 0.422.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Then the probability that no one of 8 students selected at random has a computer is   = 0.001 (approximately).\r\n" );
