A student has to take two quizzes tomorrow. He has only enough time to study for one of them. The history quiz has 5 true or false questions. The science quiz has 3 multiple choice questions.

Answer:
Answer:
Option B is correct.
Miguel should study for the Science quiz as he will do worse in that quiz by guessing.
Step-by-step explanation:
Miguel has to take two quizzes
1) 4 true or false questions on History with a 0.5 chance of acing the quiz
Expected number of correct questions = np
n = number of questions
p = probability of acing the test
Expected number of correct questions = 4 × 0.5 = 2
2) 3 multiple choice questions on Science with a 0.2 chance of acing the quiz.
Expected number of correct questions = 0.2 × 3 = 0.6
It is evident that guessing would yield a worse result in the Science quiz with less than 1 question expected to be correct than history, where he is still expected to get 2 questions correctly by guessing.
