Solution:
Given: A student answers the 144 questions on a true false test by flipping a balanced coin.
A balanced coin means fair coin, that is Probability of head = probability of tail = 0.5
thus p = 0.5 and q = 0.5
Part a) Find mean and standard deviation by using formulas of Binomial distribution.
and
Part b) We have to find values of number of correct answers that student will get using Chebeshev's theorem with probability of at least 0.96
According to Chebeshev's theorem, at least of the data lie within k standard deviations from the mean of the distribution.
that is:
So we have
Thus we get:
and
Thus there is at least 0.96 probability that student can answer correct answers between 42 and 102 out of 144.
