Question 262597
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.
---
>=70% means 7 to 10 correct answers
---
The problem is binomial with p=1/2, n = 10, and 7<= x <=10
---
P(7 <= x <= 10) = 1-binomcdf(10,0.5,6) = 0.1719
===================================


what if it was a multiple choice test with four choices per question, how does that probability channge.
p = 1/4
---
P(7 <= x <=10) = 1-binomcdf(10,0.25,6) = 0.0035...
