On a multiple-choice test, Abby randomly guesses on all seven questions. Each question has four choices. Find the probability, to the nearest thousandth, that Abby gets exactly three questions right.
She wants to answer any 3 of 7 questions correctly...... = C(7,3)
Each question has 25% probability of being answered correctly and a 75% probability of an incorrect answer.....so......we have.....
C(7,3) * (.25)^3 * (.75)^4 = about .173 = about 17.3% chance of answering any three correctly
