Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be a random variable representing the number of guesses made for the sat questions.

Since the probability of getting the correct answer to a question is fixed for any number of trials and the outcome is either getting it correctly or not, then it is a binomial distribution. The probability of success, p = 0.2

Probability of failure, q = 1 - p = 1 - 0.2 = 0.8

the probability that the number x of correct answers is fewer than 4 is expressed as

P(x < 4)

From the binomial distribution calculator,

P(x < 4) = 0.97
