ok so there are 10 questions on a test which is a true or false test. what is the probability that a student can score at least a 70% on the test by just randomly guessing all answers.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( ">=70% means 7 to 10 correct answers
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "The problem is binomial with p=1/2, n = 10, and 7<= x <=10
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "P(7 <= x <= 10) = 1-binomcdf(10,0.5,6) = 0.1719
\n" ); document.write( "===================================\r

\n" ); document.write( "p = 1/4
