JEE Main & Advanced Sample Paper JEE Main - Mock Test - 31

  • question_answer
    A student guesses the answer of each of 30 true/false type questions. The chance that he gets at least 15 correct is

    A) \[\frac{1}{2}\]              

    B)        \[1-\frac{^{30}{{C}_{15}}}{{{2}^{30}}}\]

    C) \[\frac{1}{2}+\frac{^{30}{{C}_{15}}}{{{2}^{31}}}\]           

    D)        \[\frac{1}{2}+\frac{^{30}{{C}_{15}}}{{{2}^{30}}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] According to the question, required probability \[P(E)=\frac{1}{{{2}^{30}}}{{[}^{30}}{{C}_{15}}{{+}^{30}}{{C}_{16}}{{+}^{30}}{{C}_{17}}+...{{+}^{30}}{{C}_{30}}]\]   ? (1) Or \[P(E)=\frac{1}{{{2}^{30}}}{{[}^{30}}{{C}_{0}}{{+}^{30}}{{C}_{1}}{{+}^{30}}{{C}_{2}}+...{{+}^{30}}{{C}_{15}}]\] ? (2) Adding (1) and (2), we get \[2P(E)=\frac{1}{{{2}^{30}}}[{{(}^{30}}{{C}_{0}}{{+}^{30}}{{C}_{1}}+....{{+}^{30}}{{C}_{15}}{{+}^{30}}{{C}_{\grave{\ }16}}+...\]                                \[{{+}^{30}}{{C}_{30}}){{+}^{30}}{{C}_{15}}]\] \[=\frac{1}{{{2}^{30}}}[{{2}^{30}}{{+}^{30}}{{C}_{15}}]=1+\frac{^{30}{{C}_{15}}}{{{2}^{30}}}\] \[\therefore \,\,\,P(E)=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{^{30}{{C}_{15}}}{{{2}^{31}}}\]
