    Question

    A student did not prepare for a true-false test that contains 20 questions. Therefore, he guesses at each question. At 70% correct answers he passes. Suppose X is the number of questions to which he gives the correct answer. The probability of that student passing this test can be written as:


    1. FALSE: P(X = 70%)
    2. FALSE: P(X ≥ 30%)
    3. FALSE: P(X ≥ 70%)
    4. TRUE: P(X ≥ 14)
    5. FALSE: P(X > 15)

    1. P(X = 70%): Incorrect
    2. P(X ≥ 30%): Incorrect
    3. P(X ≥ 70%): Incorrect
    4. P(X ≥ 14): Correct
    5. P(X > 15): Incorrect
