A large class of 400 students has just taken an exam. The exam consisted of 40 true-false questions each of which was worth one point. A diligent teaching assistant wants to calculate the conditional probability of the number of correct answers (Y) being equal to 30 given the number of incorrect answers (X) being equal to 10. Calculate P(Y=30|X=10)?
