    A. True. about 10% because if you guess on every question you might not pass the test.

    Number of questions = 18

    Find each of the probability:

    P (13 correct) = 18C13 (0.5) ¹⁸ = 8568 / 262144

    P (14 correct) = 18C14 (0.5) ¹⁸ = 3060 / 262144

    P (15 correct) = 18C15 (0.5) ¹⁸ = 816 / 262144

    P (16 correct) = 18C16 (0.5) ¹⁸ = 153 / 262144

    P (17 correct) = 18C17 (0.5) ¹⁸ = 18 / 262144

    P (18 correct) = 18C18 (0.5) ¹⁸ = 1 / 262144

    Find sum of the above probability:

    Find P (≥ 13 correct) = (8568 + 3060 + 816 + 153 + 18 + 1) / 262144

    Find P (≥ 13 correct) = 12616/262144

    Find P (≥ 13 correct) = 1577/32768

    Find P (≥ 13 correct) = 0.048

    Answer: 0.048
