A multiple choice test has 50 questions, with 4 answer choices each. You must get at least 30 correct to pass the test, and the questions are very difficult. a) Are you likely to be able to pass by guessing on every question? Explain. (Hint: use the normal approximation). b) Suppose, after studying for a while, you believe you have raised your chances of getting each question right to 70%. How likely are you to pass now? c) Assuming you are operating at the 70% level and the instructor arranges questions randomly, what’s the probability that the third question is the first one you get right?

Suppose that you are taking a multiple choice test (consisting of only 4-answer-choice questions) for which you have mastered 60% of the material. When you actually take the test, if you know the answer of a question, then you will answer it correctly for sure; if you do not know the answer, however, you can still guess the answer (meaning that you will have 25% chance of getting the correct answer). Finally, assume that your answer to each question is...
