Scando-Germanic friend, Odd Zahlen, often brings a die to class to answer multiple-choice final exam questions. Each multiple-ch

oice question on this particular examination consists of three choices, and Odd decides to pick answer (a) if a 1 or 2 appears on a roll of the die, to pick (b) if a 3 or 4 appears on the die, or to pick (c) if a 5 or 6 appears. Assume that the correct answers are uniformly distributed among the choices (a), (b), and (c). What is the probability of obtaining exactly 5 correct answers on a ten question examination using this method?

Answer:

The probability of obtaining exactly 5 correct answers on a ten question examination is 0.1366.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each multiple-choice questions has three options (a), (b) and (c).

The probability of getting a correct answer is, P(Correct)=\frac{1}{3} since one of the three options is correct.

But this students has an unique way of selecting the answers.

He rolls a die and according to the result of the die he marks the answers.

The sample space of rolling a die is: S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

Odds of picking the three options are as follows:

  • To pick (a): If 1 or 2 rolls of the die.

        The probability to pick (a) is,

        P (Selecting\ (a))=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}

  • To pick (b): If 3 or 4 rolls of a die.

        The probability to pick (a) is,

         P (Selecting\ (b))=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}

  • To pick (c): If 5 or 6 rolls of the die.

        The probability to pick (a) is,

        P (Selecting\ (c))=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}

Thus, all the three options have the equal probability of being picked.

Let <em>X</em> = Number of correct answers.

The number of questions is, <em>n</em> = 10 and probability of selecting a correct option is , p = \frac{1}{3}.

The random variable <em>X</em> follows Binomial distribution.

The probability function is:

P(X = x)={n\choose x}p^{x}(1-p)^{n-x}

Compute the probability of obtaining exactly 5 correct answers on a ten question examination as:

P(X = 5)={10\choose 5}(\frac{1}{3} )^{5}(1-\frac{1}{3} )^{10-5}=0.1366

Thus, the probability of obtaining exactly 5 correct answers on a ten question examination is 0.1366.

US National forest cover approximately 300,000 square miles. conversationalist want the total square footage of forests to be 30
Sveta_85 [38]
E+10 is equivalent to 10^10 so, 9e+10 is equivalent to 9*10^10. 300,000^2 is 90000000000 square miles, where as the US has 4000000. Therefore, if the national forest were as large as the environmentalist wants them to be, the forest would be larger than the US, which is IMPOSSIBLE !!! As a result, this goal is not reasonable
