(3) (15 pts) Suppose that in the State of Nebraska the written exam for a drivers license consists of 4 multiple-choice questions. Each question has 4 possible choices, only one of which is correct. Passing requires answering at least 3 questions correctly. Consider an experiment: an uninformed student-driver guesses at random on each question, where "guessing at random" means that (i) the student answers each question independently of the other questions and (ii) that for each question the student chooses...
l6 pts] Suppose that in the Province of Ontario the written cxam for a drivers license consists ot 4 multiple-choice questions. Each question has 4 possible choices, denoted a,b,cd, only one of which is correct. Fo the sake of simplicity, you may assume throughou ts exerse tha the corret answer is "a for all four quesions, but that a shudent does not know this before taking the exam. Passing requires answering at least 3 queslions correclly. Consider an experiment defined...
onsider an exam which has n multiple choice questions. Each question has k possible answers, among which only one answer is correct. (a) Consider a student who chooses at random the answers for all questions of the exam. Let X be the number of correct answers of this student. What is distribution of X? What is the expected value of X? (b) To eliminate the effect of guessing, the instructor decides to mark the according to the following rule: for...
A student answers a multiple choice examination with questions that have four possible answers each. Suppose that the probability that the student knows the answer to a question is 0.80 and the probability that the student guesses is 0.20. If the student guesses, the probability of guessing the correct answer is 0.25. The questions are independent, that is, knowing the answer on one question is not influenced by the other question. (a) If there is one question on the exam...
1. On a multiple choice exam with 4 possible answers for each of 7 questions, what the probability that a student will get 6 or more correct just by guessing randomly? (Hint: the student has an independent 1/4 chance of answering each individual question successfully.)
3.1 Now suppose that a multiple-choice exam has 100 questions, each with 4 possible selections. Again, assume our beleaguered student was unable to prepare for this exam and just guessed at each question. Use MINITAB to help you answer a) to c). (8 Marks: 2 Marks for each of a), b), c) and d).) a. What is the probability that the student gets at least one question correct? b. What is the probability that the student gets between 15 and...
5. A student takes a multiple-choice exam where each question has 5 possible answers. He works a question correctly if he knows the answer, otherwise he guesses at random. Suppose he knows the answer to 80% of the questions. (a) What is the probability that on a question chosen at random the student gets the correct (b) Given that the student gets the correct answer to this question, what is the probability answer? that he actually knew the answer?
r=3 QUESTION 16 5 poin Suppose a multiple choice exam has 47 questions with 7 answer choices per question, only one of which is correct. Suppose a student randomly guesses on every question of the exam, and let X be the number of correct answers out of the total number of questions. What is E(X), that is, the expected number of correct answers, if we assume X has a binomial distribution, to one decimal place?
Suppose you gave a multiple-choice exam with 16 questions on it. Each question has 4 alternatives. What is the probability that a student who guesses at random on each of the 16 questions will score 6 or more correct answers? Assume that each alternative to each question is equally likely to be chosen. A. P=0.9999 B. P=0.8770 C. P=0.0123 D. P<0.001 Please help and show work. Thank you.
22. A true-false exam has 54 questions. Use the CLT to approximate the probabil- ity of getting a passing score of 35 or more correct answers simply by guessing on each question. 6.7.1 Theorem (Central Limit Theorem). Let X1, X2, ... be an infinite se- quence of iid random variables with mean u and standard deviation o, and let Sn = 21–1 X;. Then lim P(Some < x) = P(x). (6.7) It follows that lim P (as so o) =...
