document.write( "C) Maria decides to test this probability and drops 10 pieces of toast from a 2.5 foot table. Only 4 of them land butter side down. Should she be surprised? Describe how you would carry out a simulation to answer this question, assuming the probability that the toast lands butter side down is 0.81. Do not perform the simulation. \n" );
