Question 414344: A student takes a 10-question multiple choice exam and guesses on each question. (This means that the probability of success on any one question is the same.) Each question has 5 choices, only one of which is correct. Find the probability that the student fails the exam, i.e. scores <60%. Note this is a binomial experiment.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

A student takes a 10-question multiple choice exam and guesses on each question. (This means that the probability of success on any one question is the same.) Each question has 5 choices, only one of which is correct. Find the probability that the student fails the exam, i.e. scores <60%. Note this is a binomial experiment.
------
Binomial Problem with n = 10 and p = 1/5
----
Failing means the student get 0 to 5 questions correct.
----
P(0<= x <=5) = binomcdf(10,0.2,5) = 0.9936
