Find the indicated probability. round to three decimal places. a test consists of 10

a. true

b. false questions. to pass the test a student must answer at least 6 questions correctly. if a student guesses on each question, what is the probability that the student will pass the test?

To answer this problem, we use the binomial distribution formula for probability:

P (x) = [n! / (n-x)! x!] p^x q^(n-x)

Where,

n = the total number of test questions = 10

x = the total number of test questions to pass =   >6

p = probability of success = 0.5

q = probability of failure = 0.5

Given the formula, let us calculate for the probabilities that the student will get at least 6 correct questions by guessing.

P (6) = [10! / (4)! 6!] (0.5)^6 0.5^(4) = 0.205078

P (7) = [10! / (3)! 7!] (0.5)^7 0.5^(3) = 0.117188

P (8) = [10! / (2)! 8!] (0.5)^8 0.5^(2) = 0.043945

P (9) = [10! / (1)! 9!] (0.5)^9 0.5^(1) = 0.009766

P (10) = [10! / (0)! 10!] (0.5)^10 0.5^(0) = 0.000977

Total Probability = 0.376953 = 0.38 = 38%

There is a 38% chance the student will pass.
