document.write( "(a)  To answer (a),  add the given numbers from 0.22 to 0.63, inclusive.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "     Make sure that the sum is 1, or 100%.  So, the answer to (a) is  P = 1, or 100%.\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "     It means that the sets of students, learning the above mentioned languages,\r\n" );
document.write( "     are disjoint and cover the entire set of students in grades 9 to 12.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "(b)  It implies that P(French) = 0.1;  P(German) = 0.04;  P(Spanish) = 0.22.     ANSWER\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "(c)  P(not German) = 1 - 0.04 = 0.96, or 96%.    ANSWER\r\n" );
