Assignment:

1. Alex takes a quiz in his Statistics 101 class. The quiz consists of 10 questions, mulitple choice questio
one of which is correct. Alex did not study for the quiz, so he guesses independently on each question.

a. He answers exactly 2 questions correctly.

b. He failed in all 10 questions.

c. Answers all questions correctly.

2. When Henry plays chess against his favorite computer program, he wins with probability 0.60.
When he plays chess a tournament of 8 rounds/games, what is the probability that Henry will:

a. Wins 5 games
b. Wins 2 games
c. Wins all the games

ANSWER QUESTION NO. 2

A. Wins 5 games
