While watching a television quiz show, Lou guessed on the 10 true/false questions. What is the probability of his getting 6 questions correct and 4 questions wrong?
@daisyrainbowmist
What is the chance of getting true on a true/false question?
1/2
Correct. What's the chance of getting false?
1/2
Yep. So you have the same chance of getting either true or false. The question asks "What is the probability of his getting 6 questions correct and 4 questions wrong?" There are 10 questions in total. Using the information on the probability that you know, how can you find out the probability of all those events occuring?
is it 105/ 512
@StudyGurl14
No, it's not.
then end result is ...
When you are finding the probability of several events occuring, you multiply the probability of each of the independent results together.
is it 64/ 210
No, it's not. How did you get that?
is it 210
No. Can you show us how you got the answers you did?
is it 120/678
@StudyGurl14
hello @StudyGurl14
do you know the answer @amistre64 i'll give you a medal
i know the answer, but you need to participate to learn it for yourself.
is it 120/678
if your guessing then we are not going to get anywhere.
its not i guess i did the work and im asking if its right
what is your work, becuase youve posted many different "isit"s did you do the work and get all of them?
studygirl was working on getting the probability of one way to obtain 6t and 4f suppose we had: ttttttffff, how would we determine the probability of this one result?
come on please
