A multiple-choice exam consists of 10 questions, each having 5 possible answers. To pass, you must answer at least 6 out of 10 questions correctly. What is the chance of this, if: You go into the exam without knowing a thing, and have to resort to pure guessing? You have studied enough so that on each question, 3 choices can be eliminated. But then you have to make a pure guess between the remaining 2 choices. You have studied enough so that you know for sure the correct answer on 3 questions. For the remaining 6 questions you have to resort to pure guessing

Suppose I flip a fair coin n = 20 times. A psychic tries to predict the outcome before each flip. Three researchers have different ideas about the psychic's ability. There is Sydney, the Skeptic (S), who thinks the psychic's success rate is between 49% and 51%. There is Morgan, the Mark, M, who thinks that the psychic's success rate is 80%. And there is Carter, the Cynic (C), who thinks the psychic's success rate is 10%. Specifically: S+ 0 ~ U(.49, .51) M + 0 = .80 C0 = .10 %3D In all cases, assume the number of successful predictions follows a binomial distribution with success rate 0. Usek for the number of successes and n for the number of trials. Given all that: Determine the formula for the Bayes factor (a.k.a., likelihood ratio) supporting Carter over Morgan. Call that Bayes factor Bc:M Determine the formula for the Bayes factor (a.k.a., likelihood ratio) supporting Morgan over Sydney. Call that Bayes factor BM:S Determine the formula for the Bayes factor (a.k.a., likelihood…
A student is taking an exam and doesn't know the answers to 3 of the questions, so they decide to guess randomly on all three of them. One of the questions is a true/false question, one is a multiple choice question with 3 possible answers, and one is a multiple choice question with 4 possible answers. What is the percentage chance that they will answer all 3 questions correctly?
