// Desc: Returns if a generated random percentage is less than

// Pre: The parameter percent should be a non-negative

// then converted to a percent between 0 and 1, then compared to

// the given parameter

// Pre: The template type T must be a number type that can be returned

// from the standard rand() function. The min parameter must be less

// than or equal to max parameter

// Post: A random number of type T will be generated between the two

// parameters and returned
