Answer:
P[ x >= 5 ] = 0,005487
Explanation:
The possibility of the student to answer correctly one question is 1/3
We have three answers and only one is right.
The possibility of answer at least 5 right question is:
Possibility of answer 6 question plus the possibility of answer 5 questions
The possibility of answering at least 5 answers are correct is:
To answer 2 questions 1/3*1/3 = 1/9
To answer three 1/3*1/3*1/3 = 1/ 27
To answer 5 is 1/3*1/3*1/3*1/3*1/3 = 1/243
And to answer all the question right is (6) is 1/729
Therefore probability of answer at least 5 right questions is
P[ x >= 5 ] = P [5] + P [6]
P[ x >= 5 ] = 1/ 243 + 1/729
P[ x >= 5 ] = 972/ 177147
P[ x >= 5 ] = 0,005487
