Question 128589: Each question of a 5-question multiple choice exam has 3 possible answers. Suppose a student picks an answer at random for each question. Find the probability the student selects the correct answer on none of the questions. Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Each question of a 5-question multiple choice exam has 3 possible answers. Suppose a student picks an answer at random for each question. Find the probability the student selects the correct answer on none of the questions.
------------------
Prob he gets a particular question wrong is (2/3).
Prob he gets all 5 questions wrong is (2/3)^5 = 0.1317
