A student takes an exam containing 1414 multiple choice questions. The probability of choosing a correct answer by knowledgeable

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

0.0082 = 0.82% probability that he will pass

Step-by-step explanation:

For each question, there are only two possible outcomes. Either the students guesses the correct answer, or he guesses the wrong answer. The probability of guessing the correct answer for a question is independent of 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.

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

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

In this problem we have that:

$n = 14, p = 0.3$ .

If the student makes knowledgeable guesses, what is the probability that he will pass?

He needs to guess at least 9 answers correctly. So

$P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) + P(X = 11) + P(X = 12) + P(X = 13) + P(X = 14)$

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

$P(X = 9) = C_{14,9}.(0.3)^{9}.(0.7)^{5} = 0.0066$

$P(X = 10) = C_{14,10}.(0.3)^{10}.(0.7)^{4} = 0.0014$

$P(X = 11) = C_{14,11}.(0.3)^{11}.(0.7)^{3} = 0.0002$

$P(X = 12) = C_{14,12}.(0.3)^{12}.(0.7)^{2} = 0.000024$

$P(X = 13) = C_{14,13}.(0.3)^{13}.(0.7)^{1} = 0.000002$

$P(X = 14) = C_{14,14}.(0.3)^{14}.(0.7)^{0} \cong 0$

$P(X \geq 9) = P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) + P(X = 11) + P(X = 12) + P(X = 13) + P(X = 14) = 0.0066 + 0.0014 + 0.0002 + 0.000024 + 0.000002 = 0.0082$

0.0082 = 0.82% probability that he will pass

Solve for p.<br> -p - 1 = 5 - 9p + 10p

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

p= 1/3 or 0.33 repeating

Step-by-step explanation:

5-19p=-p-1

5=18p-1

6=18p

divide by 18

6/18 = 1/3 or 0.33 repeating
