A student guesses blindly on a 20-question multiple choice test. If each question has 4 answer choices (only one of which is correct), what is the probability that the student will answer exactly 10 questions correctly?
---------------------
Binomial Problem with n = 20 and p(correct) = 1/4
-----
P(x = 10) = 20C10(1/4)^10*(3/4)^10 = binompdf(20,1/4,10) = 0.00992
