Statement 1
Prob Child Missing/Prob of Child in Program Missing = 0.01 / 0.000002 = 5000
Statement 2
(Prob of Child in Program Missing/Prob Child Missing)*100 = (0.000002/0.01)*100 = 0.02%
The child within the program has only 0.02% the chance of going missing as the child not in the program, which means (100-0.02) = 99.98% less likely to go missing

Thanks for your help, there.
I didn't want to ask my lady friend, because I didn't want to tell her I didn't know math very well... then she managed to get on GFY and read all of my posts, any way.
Math I can work out, but my mind never liked it and I have my own crude ways of doing things. I can figure out what I need to divide by which and add to a how many and multiply with another thing - I just got lazy
So thanks
