Part I: Multiple Choice (7 points)

Questions 1 through 4 (L.O.1.1, L.O.2.1, L.O.4). A student takes a test consisting of 20 multiple-
choice questions. In each question, only one choice is correct and students can only choose one answer
for a question. Knowing that students receive 0.5 points for each correct answer and 0.1 points for each
incorrect answer. In addition, students neither earn nor lose points for questions skipped and suppose
that the probability of skipping a question is 0.25. If an answer is chosen, the probability that it is
correct is 0.85 and the probability that it is incorrect is 0.15. The answers are independently chosen.

the time (in minutes) to fix a failure of the production line is a random variable following a uniform

worker no more than 2 minutes to fix each of them.
