A quiz consists of 10 multiple-choice questions, each with 5 possible answers. For someone who makes random guesses for all of the answers, find the probability of passing if the minimum passing grade is 70 %.
---------------
Need at least 7 correct.
-----
Binomial Problem with n = 10 and p = 1/5
--------------------------------------------
To pass need to get at least 7 correct.
----
P(7<= x <=10) = 1 - binomcdf(10,1/5,6) = 0.0008644
