Hint

Suppose you take a 18 question multiple choice test with 4 choices for each question (and only one correct answer among those choices).

If you guess on every question, specify the parameters for the associated binomial random variable X = the number of questions you answer correctly.

  • n = ___?

  • p = ___?
