Sec.  1.1623   Probability calculation.

   (a) All calculations shall be computed to no less than three significant
   digits. Probabilities will be truncated to the number of significant digits
   used in a particular lottery.

   (b)  Divide  the  total  number  of  applicants into 1.00 to determine
   pre-preference probabilities.

   (c) Multiply each applicant's pre-preference probability by the applicable
   preference from  Sec. 1.1622 (b)(2) or (b)(3).

   (d) Divide each applicant's probability pursuant to paragraph (c) of this
   section  by  the  sum  of such probabilities to determine intermediate
   probabilities.

   (e) Add the intermediate probabilities of all applicants who received a
   preference pursuant to  Sec. 1.1622 (b)(2) or (b)(3).

   (f)(1)  If the sum pursuant to paragraph (e) of this section is .40 or
   greater, proceed to paragraph (g) of this section.

   (2) If the sum pursuant to paragraph (e) of this section is less than .40,
   then multiply each such intermediate probability by the ratio of .40 to such
   sum. Divide .60 by the number of applicants who did not receive a preference
   pursuant to  Sec. 1.1622 (b)(2) or (b)(3) to determine their new intermediate
   probabilities.

   (g) Multiply each applicant's probability pursuant to paragraph (f) of this
   section by the applicable preference ratio from  Sec. 1.1622(b)(1).

   (h) Divide each applicant's probability pursuant to paragraph (g) of this
   section by the sum of such probabilities to determine the final selection
   percentage.
