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

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!PLEASE SHOW YOUR WORK. DO NOT JUST PUT AN ANSWER WITH OUT REASONING. i NEED TO BE ABLE TO REPLICATE AND VERIFY YOUR ANSWER. QUESTION SAYS LEAVE IT IN SUM OF POWERS OF FRACTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

16. Blind Guessing: Suppose that, on a 10-question quiz, you need to get at least 7 correct to pass. Suppose also that, because you have not studied any of the material, you can only blindly guess the answers. Please answer the following questions: If all ten questions are true/false, what is the probability of correctly guessing 7 or more? If all ten questions are multiple choice, each having four answers, what is the probability of correctly guessing 7 or more?

On a certain statistics exam, there are 9 multiple choice questions. Each question has 5 possible answers to choose from (and only 1 correct answer). Suppose you didn’t study at all and are planning on guessing the correct answer for each question. Therefore, the probability of guessing a question correctly is ___________ . (Round to two decimals)   Let X = number of questions the student guesses correctly (Round all answers to four decimals) a)      What’s the probability you guess at...

A multiple-choice test consists of 10 questions. Each question has answer choices of a, b, c, d, and e, and only one of the choices is correct. If a student randomly guesses on each question, what is the probability that he gets at most 1 of them correct? Carry your intermediate computations to at least four decimal places, and round your answer to at least two decimal places.

Richard has just been given a 10-question multiple-choice quiz in his history class. Each question has five answers, of which only one is correct. Since Richard has not attended class recently, he doesn't know any of the answers. Assuming that Richard guesses on all ten questions, find the indicated probabilities. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) What is the probability that Richard will answer at least half the questions correctly?

Richard has been given a 5-question multiple-choice quiz in his history class. Each question has three answers, of which only one is correct. Since Richard has not attended the class recently, he doesn't know any of the answers. Assuming that Richard guesses on all 5 questions, find the probability that he will answer at least 4 questions correctly. Round your answer to the nearest thousandth.
