But the 4 on the calculator screen is the last available screen digit
so perhaps there is some rounding up going on and the real figure is 0.0000003?????
a number which when inversed results in your 1 in 3.5 million.
Edit: it would have to be 0.0000002????? so maybe your calc is wrong and my mine is right
or we are both wrong??
