Your instructor administers a 5 question multiple choice test. Each question has 4 possible answers of which 1 answer is correct. Find the probability of getting at least 1 question correct

P(atleast 1 correct) = 1- P(no correct) = 1 - (0.75^5) = 0.7627

A standardized test consists of 100 multiple-choice questions. Each question has five possible answers, only one of which is correct. Four points are awarded for each correct answer. To discourage guessing, one point is taken away for every answer that is not correct (this includes answers that are missing). The company that creates the test has to understand how well a student could do just by random guessing. Suppose a student answers each question by picking one of the five...
