*Please provide step-by-step answers*
A student is taking a test in which there are nine multiple-choice questions, each with four alternatives. Since the student has not studied, he decides to guess the answer to each of the nine questions.
A. What is the probability that the student will get exactly seven answers correct?
B. What is the probability that the student will get no answers correct?
Homework Answers
Answer #1
The probability that a answer done by guessing will be correct
Let X denotes the number of correct answers out of nine multiple-choice questions.
X ~ Binomial(n = 9, p = 0.25)
The probability mass function of X is
a) The probability that the student will get exactly seven answers correct
b) The probability that the student will get no answers correct

A multiple-choice test consists of 25 questions, each with four
possible answers. If our desperate business statistics student
answers the test by guessing the answers before reading the
questions (that is, by selecting an answer at random for each
question), use the normal curve approximation to find the
probabilities that he will get:
exactly six correct answers (b) at least seven correct
answers

guesses. Let 2/3 be the probability that a student knows the
answer, if he takes a guess, the answer will be correct with the

A student is taking a multiple-choice quiz in which each
question has five possible answers, exactly one of which is
correct. He knows 85% of the material being tested. Assume the
teacher has chosen the questions independently and at random from
among all the questions she could have chosen.

he has a 98% chance of marking it correctly. When he does not know
the answer, he answers by marking...
