Given

9 questions

4 possible answers

only one of which is correct

what is the probability that she will answer exactly three questions correctly​?

Procedure

n=9

p=1/4=25%


P\mleft(x=3\mright)=9C3*\mleft(1/4\mright)^3\cdot\mleft(3/4\mright)^6=
\begin{gathered} P(x=3)=84\cdot(1)/(64)\cdot0.178 \\ P(x=3)=0.2336 \end{gathered}

The answer is 23.36% that she will answer exactly three questions correctly​
