A teacher is administering a high-difficulty, multiple-choice quiz to a class of sixty students. The quiz consists of sixty questions, each with six answer choices. The students are seated in ten rows and six columns.

The students are categorized into three groups based on their academic ability, with varying probabilities of selecting the correct answer:

Brilliant students: Have a 0.25 probability of answering a question correctly.
Good students: Have a 0.2 probability of answering a question correctly.
Poor students: Are described as having "no learning advantage," which implies their probability of selecting the correct answer is based on chance (1 in 6).

The teacher is unable to monitor the students during the quiz due to a lack of time and resources, raising concerns about potential cheating.
