For this question, you need at least 6 decimal places.
An exact answer (fractions) is recommended on both parts,
especially the first part since it will be used for the second
question.
Baumgartner, Prosser, and Crowell are grading 19
calculus exams on which there is a series of 5 multiple choice questions. Each question has 3
answer choices.
Crowell says, "I bet we should expect at least three exams in
which no answer is correct if everyone is just guessing."
First, what is the probability that a student gets no answer
correct on the 5
multiple choice questions if he or she guesses randomly with no
bias?
What is the probability that there are at least three exams with no
answer correct if all 19 students are guessing?
Hint: use your answer from part (a) as the probability of success
here. Your trials are the exams (students) now, and we want at
least three successes.
You may need to leave your answer as a sum of powers of
fractions
