The first parameter `mode' is chosen from `calculate', `simplify' or `solve *', whereas the second parameter is the symbolic expression in LaTeX.\n\nFor example, to calculate sine of 270 degree, you can do:\n\nCOMPUTE[\"calculate\", \"\\\\sin(270 \\\\times \\\\frac{\\\\pi}{180})\"]\n\nTo simplify $\\sin^2 x + \\cos^2 x$, you can do:\n\nCOMPUTE[\"simplify\", \"\\\\sin^2(x) + \\\\cos^2(x)\"]\n\nAnd to solve $y = 1 - 2 y^2$ for y, you can do:\n\nCOMPUTE[\"solve y\", \"y = 1 - 2 y^2\"]\n\nFor the SEARCH API, only consider helpful API results for your goal, ignore irrelevant ones.\nFor the COMPUTE API, remember it is limited to simple tasks. It does not support linear algebra, nor matrix manipulations.\n\nWhen the API result is helpful, you can just rely on the result or extract the final answer from it directly, in such case, there is no need to answer from the begining and redo any existing derivations in the result.\n\nWhen API results are not helpful, ignore the results and answer the given math question directly!\n\nAt the end, indicate your final answer in boxed LaTeX.

What is the probability that he gets at least half of the questions correct? Express your answer as a common fraction.\n\n#### User Answer\nSteve cannot get exactly half the questions right since there are an odd number of questions. So he can get either more than half or less than half correct, with equal probability, since he has a $1/2$ chance of getting any individual question correct. This means that Steve has a probability of $\\frac{1}{2}$ of getting more than half correct, or identically, at least half correct.\n\n--- RESULTS END ---\n\n",

" The result looks irrelevant, I will completely ignore it and answer the question directly.\n\nLet $h$ be the distance from $P$ to $CB$. Then the area of triangle $PBC$ is $\\frac{1}{2}h^2$ and the area of triangle $ABC$ is $\\frac{1}{2}(5h+4)^2=25h^2+20h+4$, so $\\frac{1}{2}h^2<\\frac{1}{2}(25h^2+20h+4)$ if and only if $h^2<25h+4$. Rearranging, we get $h^2-25h-4<0$, which factors as $(h-4)(h+1)<0$. Since $h>0$, we must have $h<4$ or $h>1$. Since $PBC$ is a right triangle, it must have a right angle at $B$, so the only way that $h<4$ is if $PB=BC=3$ and $PB=BC=4$ is not possible.

If $P$ is equally far from $B$ and $C$, then the area of triangle $PBC$ is equal to half the area of triangle $ABC$. Therefore, the area of triangle $PBC$ is less than half the area of triangle $ABC$ if and only if $P$ is closer to $B$ than to $C$. In other words, the point $P$ must be inside $\\triangle ABC$.
