A class is taking a multiple choice test with 10 questions where each question has four possible answers. Assume that the answer to any question is independent of that to any other answer. Robert has forgotten to study for this test, so he simply guesses for each question. What is the probability that Robert guesses exactly 8 of the questions correctly? (Round to four decimal places.) What is the probability that Robert gets an 80% or better? Another way of saying this is, what is the probability that he guesses 8 or more questions correctly? This would be the probability of 8 plus the probability of 9 plus the probability of 10. (Round to four decimal places.)

Delaney is about to take a final exam that consists of 20 questions. To motivate her to study, her parents promised her $500 if she gets at least 17 questions right. The questions are multiple choice and the probability of her getting a question right is 0.75 on each question of the final exam. What is the probability that she gets exactly 17 questions right? What is the probability that she gets at least 17 questions right?
A sample of 2500 patients were taken to assess a medical test. 40% of the sample had a positive test, 563 patients have the disease and tested negative, and 235 patients do not have the disease and tested positive. What is the probability someone has a positive test if it is known they do have the disease? (round your answer to 4 decimal places) What is the probability someone does not have the disease if their test is known to be negative? (round your answer to 4 decimal places)
Now you play toss-a-coin. If the coin comes up Heads, you win. If it comes up Tails, your friend wins.What is the probability that you win 4 games out of 10 now? This is a numerical question - give the answer in percent, and round to four digits after the decimal point
To get to know her students better, Ms. Jackson surveyed her maths students to determine what hobbies and school subjects they prefer. The probability that a student enjoys skateboarding is 0.4, the probability that a student prefers health is 0.8 and the probability that a student enjoys skateboarding and prefers health is 0.3. What is the probability that a randomly chosen student enjoys skateboarding or prefers health?
At races, your horse, White Rum, has a probability of 1/20 of coming 1st, 1/10 of coming 2nd and a probability of ¼ in coming 3rd. First place pays $5,000 to the winner, second place $4,000 and third place $1,350. Hence, is it worth entering the race if it costs $1050?
How are your grades? In a recent semester at a local university, 700 students enrolled in both Statistics I and Psychology I. Of these students, 77 got an A in statistics, 68 got an A in psychology, and 35 got an A in both statistics and psychology. Round the answers to four decimal places, as needed. Part 1 of 2 (a) Find the probability that a randomly chosen student got an A in statistics or psychology or both. The probability that a randomly chosen student got an A in statistics or psychology or both is Part 2 of 2 (b) Find the probability that a randomly chosen student did not get an A in psychology. The probability that a randomly chosen student did not get an A in psychology is X X
