Since Richard has not attended class recently, he doesn't know any of the answers. Assuming that Richard guesses on all eight questions, find the indicated probabilities. (Round your answers to three decimal places.)

a)What is the probability that he will answer all questions correctly?

b)What is the probability that he will answer all questions incorrectly?

(c)
What is the probability that he will answer at least one of the questions correctly? Compute this probability two ways. First, use the rule for mutually exclusive events and the probabilities shown in the binomial probability distribution table.
 
answer: __________
 
Then use the fact that P(r ≥ 1) = 1 − P(r = 0).
 
answer: __________
