You are taking a multiple-choice quiz that consists of 3 questions. Each question has 4 possible answers, only one of which is correct. To complete the quiz, you randomly guess the answer to each question.
---------
With 4 possible answers on each question,
P(correct) = 0.25
P(wrong) = 0.75
------------------
Find the probability of guessing
(A) exactly 2 answers correctly, = binompdf(3,0.25,2)=0.1406...
(B) at least 2 answers correctly, = 1 - binomcdf(3,0.25,2)=0.0.15625...
(C) less than 2 answers correctly.= binomcdf(3,0.25,1) = 0.84375
