SECTION 2 – Question 3 – continued

Question 3Steve, Katerina and Jess are three students who have agreed to take part in a psychology experiment. Each student is to answer several sets of multiple-choice questions. Each set has the same number of questions, n, where n is a number greater than 20. For each question there are four possible options (A, B, C or D), of which only one is correct.a. Steve decides to guess the answer to every question, so that for each question he chooses A, B, C or D

at random. Let the random variable X be the number of questions that Steve answers correctly in a particular set.

i. WhatistheprobabilitythatStevewillanswerthefirstthreequestionsofthissetcorrectly?

ii. Find,tofourdecimalplaces,theprobabilitythatStevewillansweratleast10ofthefirst20 questions of this set correctly.

iii. Use the fact that the variance of X is 7516
