3. The Driving Theory Test includes 30 questions which require one answer to be selected from four options.
  1. Phil ticks answers at random. Find how many of the 30 he should expect to get right.
  2. If he gets 15 correct, decide whether this is evidence that he has actually done some revision. Use a \(5 \%\) significance level. Another candidate, Sarah, has revised and has a 0.9 probability of getting each question right.
  3. Determine the expected number of answers that Sarah will get right.
  4. Find the probability that Sarah gets more than 25 correct answers out of 30.
