  1. I assume you want the probability of getting 20 to 30 right by random guessing of answers. The mean value will be 1/4 x 50 = 12.5 and the standard deviation will be sqrt (.25*.75*50) = 3.1
    Using the normal distribution Java tool at this website,

    I get the probability of 20 to 30 correct answers to be 0.78%
