A professor tells his students that there will be 16 review problems for the final exam and that the examwill consist of 5 of these questions, verbatim. Now suppose that a student decides to prepare for the examby selecting 5 questions from the review set at random, and mastering these problems. Assuming that thisstudent is completely unprepared for the 11 questions they ignored,(a) Compute the probability that the student gets a 60% on the exam. That is, the exam consists of 3questions the student prepared for and 2 questions the student did not prepare for.(b) Compute the probability that the student earns a 40% or better on the exam.(c) Compute the probability that the student gets a 100% on the exam.

We have to use hypergeometric distribution to find the probability
