Question 87986
A professor gives a test with 100 true-false questions. If 60 or more correct is necessary to pass, what is the probability that a student will pass by random guessing?
--------------
It's a binomial problem with n=100, p=0.5, 60<=x<=100.
---------
Using a TI-83 calculator you would get:
1 - binomcdf(100,0.5,59) = 0.028
-----------
This is the probability the student will get at least 60 correct.
