\n" ); document.write( "The probability of getting the correct answer is 1/2 on any given question.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Each question is independent of any other, so we multiply out the fraction (1/2) with itself three times getting (1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2) = (1*1*1)/(2*2*2) = 1/8\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Use of a calculator shows
\n" ); document.write( "1/8 = 0.125
\n" ); document.write( "This converts to 12.5% when moving the decimal point over to the right 2 spots.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Answer as a fraction = 1/8
\n" ); document.write( "Answer as a decimal = 0.125
\n" ); document.write( "Answer as a percentage = 12.5%
\n" ); document.write( "All values are exact
