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?
