An exam consists of 8 true/false questions. Brian forgets to study, so he must guess blindly on each question. If any score above 90% is a passing grade, what is the probability that Brian passes?  Choose the correct choice from the following options:
A) 1 / 16 B) 37 / 256 C) 1 / 2 D) 219 / 256 E) 15 / 16

Rationale: "if you have 8 t or f and brian is going to guess then each question he has a 50 % chance of getting correct . if a passing score is 70 % it means brian needs to get 6 / 8 = 75 % , 7 / 8 = 87.5 % , or 8 / 8 = 100 % to pass . each is a possibility . if brian gets a 5 / 8 ( = 62.5 % ) or below he fails . so first figure out the number of ways that brian can get 6 out of 8 , 7 out of 8 , and 8 out of 8 questions correct . which is 8 choose 6 , equals is 28 , 8 choose 7 , equals 8 , and 8 choose 8 , equals 1 . this sums to 37 . the number of possible questions outcomes - the sum of 8 choose 8 , 7 choose 8 , 6 choose 8 … . 2 choose 8 , 1 choose 8 , and 0 choose 8 is 256 , so the chance of him passing is 15 / 16 . e"
