A student takes a 24 question multiple choice exam but did not study and randomly guesses each answer. Each question has three possible choices for the answer. Find the probability that the student guesses more than 75% of the questions correctly.
--------------------
Binomial Problem with n = 24 and p(correct) = 1/3
------
Note: 75% of 24 = 18
------
P(18<=x<=24) = 1 - binomcdf(24,1/3,17) = 0.000036
