A Spanish examination includes 5 True or False questions. The probability of a student guessing the correct answer to the first question is 0.6. Likewise, the probability of a student guessing correctly on each of the remaining question is 0.4
----
Note:: The probability of ANY True/False question is 0.5, not 0.6 or 0.4.
---------------------------------
(a) State the probability distribution model that can be used along with
any assumptions
Binomial Distribution; p is constant ; events are independent
--------------------------------------------
(b) What is the probability of a student
i. guessing NONE of the five questions correctly:: 0.5^5
ii. guessing at LEAST ONE of the five questions correctly:: 1 - 0.5^5
