A student takes a multiple-choice test that has 12 questions. Each question has five choices. The student guesses randomly at each answer. Let X be the number of questions answered correctly.

Respuesta :

The probability that the student will answer 5 correct questions is; P(5) = 0.053

How to solve binomial probability problems?

The formula for binomial probability is;

P(X = x) = nCx * p^(x) * (1 - p)^(n - x)

Where;

p = probability of success.

n = number of trials, or the sample size.

x = the number of successes in the probability we are trying to calculate.

Now, we want to find P(5). We are given;

n = 12

x = 5

p = 1/5 = 0.2

Thus;

P(5) = 12C5 * (0.2)⁵ * (1 - 0.2)⁽¹² ⁻ ⁵⁾

P(5) = 0.053
