Assume the online test in HA1011 has 15 multiple questions. Each question has five possible answers, of which only one is correct.

What is the probability that guesswork will yield at least seven correct answers?
What is the expected number of correct answers by guesswork?

At Delta limited the Chief Administrative Manager analyzed the number of incoming faxes. After an analysis, the manager determined the probability distribution of the number of pages per fax as follows:

x	1	2	3	4	5	6	7
P(x)	0.05	0.12	0.2	0.3	0.15	0.1	0.08

Required:
Compute the mean and the variance of the number of pages per fax.

2. A student is taking a multiple-choice test in which each question has five choices. Assume that the student has no knowledge of the correct answers to any of the questions. She has decided on a strategy in which she will place five balls (marked A, B, C, D and E) into a box. She randomly selected one ball for each question and replaces the ball in the box. The marking on the will determine her answer to the question....

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...
