Question 807476: a true/ flase quiz has 10 questions. If a student randomly guesses on each question, qhat is the probability of getting at least 3 correct? Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
What do "flase" and "qhat" mean? Which is to say, please have the common courtesy to check your post for obvious spelling and other errors BEFORE you push the send button.
In the meantime:
The probability of successes in trials where is the probability of success on any given trial is given by:
Where is the number of combinations of things taken at a time and is calculated by
"At least 3" means the probability of exactly 3 plus exactly 4, plus exactly 5, ... and so on. A much simpler calculation that gets you to the same place is 1 minus the probabilities of exactly zero, plus exactly 1, plus exactly 2. So:
Happy calculating.
