Question

on an eight-question true-false quiz, a student guesses each answer. What is the proability that the student gets at least one of the answers correct

Answer 1

0.9961

Explanation:

Number of options per question = 2

P(success), p = 0.5

q = 1 - p = 0.5

Number of trials, n = 8

P(x ≥ 1) = p(x= 1) + p(x=2) +... + p(x = 8)

P(x = x) = nCx * p^x * q^(n-x)

Using a calculator to save computation time :

p(x ≥ 8) = 0.9961
