0.6127 = 61.27% probability of guessing 6 or more questions correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each question, there are only two possible outcomes. Either you guess the correct answer, or you do not. The probability of guessing the correct answer of a question is independent of other questions. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

The binomial probability is the probability of exactly x successes on n repeated trials, and X can only have two outcomes.

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

In which $C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

And p is the probability of X happening.

12 questions:

This means that n = 12

True-false:

Two options, one of which is correct. So $p = \frac{1}[2} = 0.5$

Find the probability of guessing 6 or more questions correctly.

$P(X \geq 6) = P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) + P(X = 11) + P(X = 12)$

In which

$P(X = x) = C_{n,x}.p^{x}.(1-p)^{n-x}$

$P(X = 6) = C_{12,6}.(0.5)^{6}.(0.5)^{6} = 0.2256$

$P(X = 7) = C_{12,7}.(0.5)^{7}.(0.5)^{5} = 0.1934$

$P(X = 8) = C_{12,8}.(0.5)^{8}.(0.5)^{4} = 0.1208$

$P(X = 9) = C_{12,9}.(0.5)^{9}.(0.5)^{3} = 0.0537$

$P(X = 10) = C_{12,10}.(0.5)^{10}.(0.5)^{2} = 0.0161$

$P(X = 11) = C_{12,11}.(0.5)^{11}.(0.5)^{1} = 0.0029$

$P(X = 12) = C_{12,12}.(0.5)^{12}.(0.5)^{0} = 0.0002$

$P(X \geq 6) = P(X = 6) + P(X = 7) + P(X = 8) + P(X = 9) + P(X = 10) + P(X = 11) + P(X = 12) = 0.2256 + 0.1934 + 0.1208 + 0.0537 + 0.0161 + 0.0029 + 0.0002 = 0.6127$

0.6127 = 61.27% probability of guessing 6 or more questions correctly.
