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?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem of finding the probability that a candidate would get four or more correct answers just by guessing on a multiple choice examination with three possible answers (only one of which is correct) for each of the five questions, we can use the binomial distribution. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Parameters**: - Let \( X \) be the number of correct answers. - The total number of questions \( n = 5 \). - The probability of getting a correct answer \( p = \frac{1}{3} \) (since there is one correct answer out of three options). ...
