Concept: 1.5 Marks
Solution: 0.5 Mark each


Probability of picking a student who answered all five =$\frac{2}{50}$ = 0.04
Probability of picking a student who answered not less than three = $\frac{(2+16+15)}{50}$ = $\frac{33}{50}$ = 0.66
Probability of picking a student who answered none = $\frac{3}{50}$ = 0.06
