Question 637540
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


The probability that the student will know the first question is *[tex \LARGE \frac{14}{20}].  Now, since one question is no longer being considered, the probability of the student knowing the second question is *[tex \LARGE \frac{13}{19}].  The probability of the third:  *[tex \LARGE \frac{12}{18}].  See the pattern?  Find the probabilities for all 8 questions, and then multiply all 8 probabilities.
