Using the Binomial Distribution Assume that two students must take a ten question, True or False quiz. Student 1 has not studied at all and guesses randomly on each question. Student 2 has studied hard and has a 95% chance of answering any particular question correctly. For each student, calculate the probability of passing (getting 7 or more correct answers) and the probability of “acing” (getting 9 or 10 correct answers) the quiz. What do your calculated probabilities say about...
