Guessing my way to an MBA



Above is a screen shot of a page from my statistics final during Mod I. On this particular section we had to choose between "true" or "false" on ten questions. And I just happened to get the first seven wrong. The amazing thing is I still managed to get a grade on the final that was slightly above the class average.

I wonder what the probability distribution is of a clueless student taking an exam where on each question he randomly chooses between two choices available and gets the first seven all wrong.
