When answering a question on a multiple choice exam, Jon either thinks he knows the answer or just guesses.

Suppose the probability that Jon thinks he knows the answer is 0.75 and there’s a 90% chance that he’ll get the question correct if he thinks he knows the answer. There are 5 choices for each multiple-choice exam question.

Each question is worth 2 marks (no part marks), but blank answers earn 0.4 marks. Suppose Jon always answers the question if he thinks he knows the answer, but if he does not, he guesses the answer (at random) half the time and the other half of the time, he leaves the answer blank.

What is the expected value of Jon’s score on a randomly selected question?

Ada Nixon, a student, has just begun a 30-question, multiple-choice exam. For each question, there is exactly one correct answer out of four possible choices. Unfortunately, Ada hasn't prepared well for this exam and has decided to randomly select an answer choice for each question. (a) (4 points) For a given question, what is the probability Ada picks the correct answer, assuming each answer choice is equally likely to be selected? (b) Assume the number of questions Ada answers correctly...
