A student takes a 10 question multiple choice exam and guesses on each question Each question has five choices What is the probability of getting at least 6 correct out of the ten question?
To find the probability of getting at least 6 correct answers on a 10-question multiple-choice exam where each question has 5 choices (with only one correct answer), we can model this situation using the binomial probability formula. The probability of guessing correctly on each question is ( p = \frac{1}{5} ) and incorrectly is ( q = \frac{4}{5} ). We need to calculate the sum of probabilities for getting exactly 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 correct answers. Using the binomial formula, the probability ( P(X = k) ) for each ( k ) can be computed, and then summed to find ( P(X \geq 6) ). The resulting probability is approximately 0.0163, or 1.63%.
In a twenty question true false examination a student must achieve eight correct answers to pass if student answers randomly what is the probability that student will fail?
The probability this student will fail is the same as the probability that some other student will flip a fair coin 20 times and get less than 8 heads, i.e., more than 12 tails. There are 2^20 possible different-looking sequences of 20 coinflips, which we assume all have equal probability. Of those sequences, 1 has no heads at all, 20 have exactly 1 head, 190 have exactly 2 heads, ... and 77520 have exactly 7 heads. So we sum up all those possible ways to fail and we get ... ... ... I'm assuming that the student answers randomly, flipping a fair (50:50) coin on each question to choose "true" or "false". In that special case, it doesn't matter how many of those twenty questions are true or how many are false. (If the student answers randomly by flipping an unfair coin, say a 25:75 coin, then it does matter how many of those questions are true -- I'll let you figure that one out).
What is the probability of picking a student out of 800 students 50 faculty members and 150 adminstrators?
Probability of picking a student is 800 / (800+50+150) = 800 / 1000 = .8.

On an eight question true false quiz a student guesses each answer What is the probability that he gets at least One of the answers correct?
The probability of getting at least 1 answer correct = 1 - Probability of getting all answers correct.So in your case it for be P(at least 1 answer correct) = 1 - 1/256where 256 is your sample space, |S| = 2^8.

A student takes a 20-question multiple choice exam with five choices for each question and guesses on each question Find the probability of guessing at least 15 out of 20 correctly?
15%? (My math sucks - I probably got that wrong).
A multiple choice quiz consists of 6 questions each with 4 possible answers If a student guesses at the answer to each question then the mean number of correct answers is?
If there are four possible answers to a question, then a guessed answer would have a probability of 1 in 4. If there are six questions, then the mean number of correct answers would be six times 1 in 4, or 1.5
What is the probability of a student getting a score of more than 505 with a mean of 505 and a standard deviation of 110?
The probability is 0.5
