In this question, we are given a four -question multiple choice quiz with five choices for each question.
00:07
And the student guesses at random on each question.
00:10
Let x be the number of correct answers out of these four questions that the student answered.
00:15
Now, x will follow a binomial distribution.
00:18
N is 4.
00:20
And p, the probability of success in a single trial.
00:23
In this case, is the probability of the student guessing a correct answer.
00:27
That will be 1 out of 5.
00:33
And so probability x equals to r, where r is the number of correct answers, will be four choose r, 1 out of 5 to the power of r, and 1 minus 1 out of 5 will be 4 out of 5 to the power of 4 minus r.
00:52
Now in part a, we want to find probability the student gets exactly three questions correct.
00:57
So we're looking at probability of x equals to 3.
01:00
So just sub 3 into the r and you will be able to get the answer.
01:12
And so the answer is 0 .056.
01:21
And rounding, we will get 0 .0263 decimal place.
01:27
Now in b, we want to find the probability the student gets at most three questions correct.
01:35
So at most, that will be x less than equals to three.
01:39
Now, i'm going to take one and minus is complementary case, and that is x is equals to four.
01:48
And so just sub four into the r...
