Suppose that a student knows the answer to any given question on a multiple choice

exam with 60% probability. If he does not know an answer, he chooses one at random.

Let K+ be the event "student knows the answer)

Let K- be the event "student does not know the answer

Let C+ be the event "answer is correct"

Let C- be the event "answer is incorrect"
