Final answer:

To convince me that they're not guessing on a true-false test, a student needs to get significantly more than half of the questions right.

Step-by-step explanation:

A true-false test consists of 50 questions. To convince me that he is not merely guessing, a student would need to get significantly more than half of the questions right. If the student gets exactly half of the questions right, that would be the result we would expect from guessing. However, if the student consistently gets more than half of the questions right, it would indicate that they have some knowledge or understanding of the material.



Example:



Let's say a student gets 30 out of 50 questions correct. This would be 60% of the questions, which is higher than 50%, indicating that the student is not merely guessing.
