i. What is the probability that at most three questions must be answered to obtain the first correct answer in quiz 1? Interpret its value.

ii. What is the probability that less than four correct answers in quiz 2?

iii. In order to get high score, Siti needs to obtain at least six correct answers in quiz 1. Is Siti likely to get the high score in quiz 1?

iv. What is the probability that obtains five correct answers before eighth questions in quiz 2? Interpret its value.

v. Based on your answer in (iv), would you consider this event likely to occur? Explain your reason.
