On a multiple choice examination with three possible answers (out of which only one is correct) for each of the five questions, what is the probability that a candidate would get four or more correct answers just by guessing?
Solution:
Let X denote the number of questions answered correctly by guessing in multiple choice examinations.
Probability of getting a correct answer by guessing, p =
Therefore, q, the probability of an incorrect answer by guessing is = 1 - =
P (X = x) = =
P (guessing more than 4 correct answers) = P (X ≥ 4)
= P (X = 4) + P (X = 5)
= +
= 5 × + 1 × 1 × [Using = ]
