The probability that he will guess an answer right is 1/4. The probability that he will guess an answer wrong is 3/4. This is a cumulative binomial probability where the number of trials is n=6, with the probability of a success in 1 trial is 1/4. With a TI-83 or 84, it's 1-binomcdf(6,1/4,2). Ans: 0.1694335937 Or without a calculator that has binomial probability feature: Case 1: Guessing exactly 3 correct: Choosing exactly 3 to get correct = Choosing exactly 3 to get wrong = 6C3 = (6*5*4)/(3*2*1) = 20 ways. Guess the wrong answer for the first wrong one 3 ways. Guess the wrong answer for the second wrong one 3 ways. Guess the wrong answer for the third wrong one 3 ways. That's 20×3×3×3 = 540 ways Case 2: Guessing exactly 4 correct: Choosing exactly 4 to get correct = Choosing exactly 2 to get wrong = 6C2 = (6*5)/(2*1) = 15 ways. Guess the wrong answer for the first wrong one 3 ways. Guess the wrong answer for the second wrong one 3 ways. That's 15×3×3 = 135 ways Case 3: Guessing exactly 5 correct: Choosing exactly 5 to get correct = Choosing exactly 1 wrong = 6C1 = 6 ways. Guess the wrong answer for the wrong one 3 ways. That's 6×3 = 18 ways Case 4: Guessing all 6 correct There is only 1 way to guess them all correct Total number of ways to pass: 540+135+18+1 = 694 ways to pass Total number of ways to answer: (4 ways to answer question 1) times (4 ways to answer question 2) times (4 ways to answer question 3) times (4 ways to answer question 4) times (4 ways to answer question 5) times (4 ways to answer question 6) equals 4×4×4×4×4×4 = 46 = 4096Edwin
