A multiple-choice test has 25 questions. Each question has five possible answers, only one of which is correct. A student guesses the answers for all 25 questions. Use the binomial distribution to answer the following. a) Compute the probability that at most 10 questions are answered correctly. b) Compute the probability that between 5 and 12, inclusive, are answered correctly. c) Compute the probability that exactly 5 questions are answered correctly.

Question 4: A multiple-choice test contains 30 questions, each with four answers. Assume that a student just guesses on each question. Use Binomial Distribution. (a) What is the probability that the student answers more than 29 questions correctly? (b) What is the probability that the student answers fewer than 4 questions correctly?
A multiple-choice test contains 15 questions, each with three possible answers. Assume a student just guesses on each question. a) What is the distribution (type and parameter(s)) of the student's number of correct answers? b) What is the probability that a student answers exactly 5 questions correctly? c) What is the probability that a student answers more than 2 questions correctly?
