Using it's concept, it is found that there is a 0.5 = 50% probability that one of the fair number cubes is a 1.

<h3>What is a probability?</h3>

A probability is given by the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes</u>.

The outcomes of the pair of cubes that result in a sum of 5 are as follows:

(1,4), (2,3), (3,2), (4,1).

Of those 4 outcomes, 2 involve a number 1, hence the probability is given by:

p = 2/4 = 0.5.

Answer:

0.0111% probability that he answers at least 10 questions correctly

Step-by-step explanation:

For each question, there are only two outcomes. Either it is answered correctly, or it is not. The probability of a question being answered correctly is independent from other questions. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$
