Charlie's Teacher Claims That He Does Not Study and Just

question 111

Essay

Charlie's teacher claims that he does not study and just guesses on exams. On an exam with 201 true-false
questions, Charlie answered 53.7% of the questions correctly. Calculations using these results show that if he
were really just guessing, there would be roughly 1 chance in 7 that he would do this well. Is there statistically
significant evidence against the teacher's claim that Charlie is just guessing? Why or why not?
