A student is taking a fifty question exam that has only true - false questions. Determine the probability that the students will receive a score less than 60% by randomly guessing.
----------
Binomial Problem with n = 50 and P(correct) = 1/2
------
Note:: 60% of 50 = 30
--------------------
P(x <= 29) = binomcdf(50,0.5,29) = 0.8987
