7/128, or about 5.5%

The student has a 1/2 probability of getting each question correct. The probability that he passes is the probability that he gets 10 correct+probability that he gets 9 correct+probability that he gets 8 correct:

P(passes)=P(10 right)+P(9 right)+P(8 right)=[(1/2)^10]+[(1/2)^10]*10+[(1/2)^10]*Combinations(10,2)=[(1/2)^10](1+10+45)=56/1024=7/128.

What is the probability that someone will answer at least one of the eight questions correctly?

The answer to this question depends on how easy or difficult the eight questions are. If, for example, the questions were based on Godel's incompleteness theorem it is very likely that nobody could answer them - ever.


In a multiple choice exam there are 5 questions and 4 choices for each question (a b c d). Nancy has not studied for the exam at all and decides to randomly guess the answers. What is the probability?

The probability of Nancy guessing the correct answer for a single question is ( \frac{1}{4} ) since there are 4 choices (a, b, c, d). For 5 questions, assuming each guess is independent, the probability of guessing all questions correctly is ( \left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^5 = \frac{1}{1024} ). Thus, the probability of Nancy answering all questions correctly by random guessing is ( \frac{1}{1024} ).


How do you write an answer to a probability question?

Probability questions are not all the same so there is not a single kind of answer: it depends on the nature of the question!


A multiple choice question has has 5 choices What is the probability of guessing it correctly?

There is 1 right answer out of 5 possible answers, so the probability of guessing it correctly is 1/5 or 20% or 0.2.

Students are required to answer 2 True of False questions and 1 multiple choice questions with 4 responses If the answers are all guesses what is the probability of getting all 3 questions correct?

The probability of correct true & false question is 1/2 and the probability correct multiple choice (four answer) question is 1/4. We want the probability of correct, correct, and correct. Therefore the probability all 3 questions correct is 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/4 = 1/16.
