a true-or-false quiz has five questions. Use a simulation or a sample space to find the probability of guessing at random and getting three correct answers
----------------------------------
Sample space has 2^5 = 32 elements.
# of elements with 3 correct answers:: 5C3 = 5C2 = 10
----
P(3 correct) = 10/32 = 5/16
