A multiple choice examination has 5 questions. Each question has three alternative answers of which exactly one is correct. The probability that a student will get 4 or more correct answers just by guessing is
Options
- A17 243
- B13 243
- C11 243
- D10 243
Correct answer
C. 11 243
Step-by-step solution
Probability of getting correct answer (p)= 1 3 q=1- 1 3 = 2 3 Also, n =5 Required probability aligned & = P ( X 4) & = P ( X =4)+ P ( X =5) & = ^5 C ₄ ( 1 3 )^4 ( 2 3 )^1+ ^5 C ₅ ( 1 3 )^5 ( 2 3 )^0 & =5 ( 1 3 )^4 ( 2 3 )+1 ( 1 3 )^5 & = ( 1 3 )^4 ( 10 3 + 1 3 )= 11 3^5 = 11 243 aligned
