Here is a simple probability model for multiple-choice tests. Suppose that each student has probabilityp of correctly answering a question chosen at random from a universe of possible questions. (A strong student has a higherp than a weak student.) The correctness of answers to different questions are independent. Jodi is a good student for whomp = 0.75.
(a) Use the Normal approximation to find the probability that Jodi scores 70% or lower on a 100-question test. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)(b) If the test contains 250 questions, what is the probability that Jodi will score 70% or lower? (Use the normal approximation. Round your answer to four decimal places.)(c) How many questions must the test contain in order to reduce the standard deviation of Jodi's proportion of correct answers to half its value for a 100-item test? questions
