Re TY: First thing I did was line 1. Only thing it gave us to work with was the .68
So...that gave the only option of p(different response)1-.68
Binomial Probability is a Yes 0r No, Get it 0r don't get it :) type of thing.
There is NO third choice so to speak.
....
p(response unfair) = .68, P(different response) = .32 1-.68
........
A student is randomly asked
P(will either think its fair or have no opinion) = .32 0r 32%
