प्रश्न
In an examination, 20 questions of true-false type are asked. Suppose a student tosses a fair coin to determine his answer to each question. If the coin falls heads, he answers ‘true’; if it falls tails, he answers ‘false’. Find the probability that he answers at least 12 questions correctly.
उत्तर
Let X represent the number of correctly answered questions out of 20 questions.
The repeated tosses of a coin are Bernoulli trails. Since “head” on a coin represents the true answer and “tail” represents the false answer, the correctly answered questions are Bernoulli trials.
`:. p = 1/2`
`:. q =1 - p = 1-1/2 = 1/2`
