An instructor develops a True-False exam for an introductory stat course. A student, who didn't
study, randomly guesses on each question. Making the reasonable assumption that the
probability of success (guessing correctly) on each question is equal to .5, answer the following
questions.
A) If the exam has 20 questions, use the probability tool to find the probability that the student
will guess exactly 5 right. Exactly 11 right. Exactly 19 right.
B) If there are 20 questions, what is the probability that the student will make BETWEEN 7 and
12 right guess? [In the binomial problems we will take the convention that "between" is
inclusive. That is, when I say "between 7 and 12" correct, I mean to include 7 and 12.]
C) What is the probability that the student will score outside of 7 and 12 correct? [Here we will
take the convention that "outside" is exclusive, that is, "outside 7 and 12" does not include 7 and
12.]
D) What is the probability that the student will score 18 or above?
