3.A man answers 10 maths problems, one after the other. He answers the first problem correctly and the second problem incorrectly, for each of the remaining 8 problems the probability that he answers the problem correctly equals to the ratio of the number of problems that he has already answered correctly to the total number of problems that he has already answered. What is the probability that he answers exactly 5 out of 10 problems correctly

Probability of answering 5out of 10 correctly= 0.246

Step-by-step explanation:

Total question answered= 2

Question answered correctly= 1

Probability of answered correctly= 1/2

Probability of answered correctly= 0.5

Probability of answered incorrectly = 0.5

Probability of answering 5out of 10 correctly= 10C5(0.5)^5(0.5)^5

Probability of answering 5out of 10 correctly = 10!/5!5!(0.5)^5(0.5)^5

Probability of answering 5out of 10 correctly = 252(0.03125)(0.03125)

Probability of answering 5out of 10 correctly= 0.246

the answer is a.

135 and 80
