What is the chance of getting true on a true/false question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/2

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

Correct. What's the chance of getting false?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/2

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

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

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

No, it's not.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

then end result is ...

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

When you are finding the probability of several events occuring, you multiply the probability of each of the independent results together.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 64/ 210

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

No, it's not. How did you get that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 210

OpenStudy (studygurl14):

No. Can you show us how you got the answers you did?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 120/678

@StudyGurl14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hello @StudyGurl14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know the answer @amistre64 i'll give you a medal

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i know the answer, but you need to participate to learn it for yourself.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 120/678

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if your guessing then we are not going to get anywhere.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its not i guess i did the work and im asking if its right

OpenStudy (amistre64):

what is your work, becuase youve posted many different "isit"s did you do the work and get all of them?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

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
