3) Consider the following exercise: Suppose that a student is taking a multiple-choice exam in which each question has four choices. Assuming that she has no knowledge of the correct answer to any of the questions, she has decided on a strategy in which she will place four balls (marked A, B, C, and D) into a box. She randomly selects one ball for each question and replaces the ball in the box. The marking on the ball will determine...

Each student taking the probability calculus exam draws a card from 2 out of 40 different questions. In order to pass the exam, you have to answer both questions from the card or one question from the card and an additional question indicated by the examiner from another card. Max went to the exam, but knew the answer to only 33 questions. Calculate the probability that Max (a) he passed the exam, (b) answered both questions from a drawn sheet...

Guessing on Exams Suppose, you are taking an exam with 10 questions and you are required to get 7 or more right answers to pass. With a 10-question true/false test, what is the probability of getting at least 7 answers correct by guessing? With a 10-question multiple-choice test where there are three possible choices for each question, what is the probability of getting at least 7 answers correct by guessing? Only one of the choices is correct for each question....

Alex is taking two courses; algebra and U.S. history. Student records indicate that the probability of passing algebra is 0.33, that of failing U.S. history is 0.33, and that of passing at least one of the two courses is 0.85. Find the probability of the following. (a) Alex will pass history. (b) Alex will pass both courses. (c) Alex will fail both courses. (d) Alex will pass exactly one course.

Suppose a biology student is about to take an exam that is entirely multiple choice, where each question has 5 answer choices. This student only studied 60% of the material that is covered on this exam, so let us assume that there is a 60% chance that she knows the correct answer to any given question. If she does not know the answer, she will choose an answer at random. a.If she answered a question on the exam correctly, what...

Here is a simple probability model for multiple-choice tests. Suppose that each student has probability p of correctly answering a question chosen at random from a universe of possible questions. (A strong student has a higher p than a weak student.) The correctness of answers to different questions are independent. Jodi is a good student for whom p = 0.75. (a) Use the Normal approximation to find the probability that Jodi scores 70% or lower on a 100-question test. (Round...
