Let us say that for each question, there are n multiple choices. If this is true and false, then n=2. The chance of getting a right answer is 1/n and wrong answer (n-1)/n. I will define p as getting a wrong answer one time (p = (n-1)/n so the probability of 20 wrong answers is p20. Now for n = 4, p=0.75 and the chance of 20 wrong answers in a row is: (0.75)20= 0.0032 or 0.32%.

Probability of getting all questions wrong on multiple choice test?

In order to answer, the number of questions on the test must be given.


What is the probability of getting five questions correct on a 20 question multiple choice test?

The answer depends on the number of choices available for each question.


Students are required to answer 2 True of False questions and 1 multiple choice questions with 4 responses If the answers are all guesses what is the probability of getting all 3 questions correct?

The probability of correct true & false question is 1/2 and the probability correct multiple choice (four answer) question is 1/4. We want the probability of correct, correct, and correct. Therefore the probability all 3 questions correct is 1/2 * 1/2 * 1/4 = 1/16.


What is the probability of getting a question right simple by guessing?

That depends a lot on the specific circumstances, of how you guess. For instance, if a test has true/false questions, the probability is 1/2; if it is a multiple-choice question with 4 options, the probability is 1/4; if there are 6 options, the probability is 1/6, etc.; if you have to calculate a number (and it is NOT a multiple choice question), the probability is rather low, indeed.


What is the probability of getting all five answers correct if i have five multiple choice questions with four possible answers determine the number of possible answers?

The probability will depend on how much you know and the extent of guessing.


A multiple choice question has 5 choices if you gets 2 questions what is the probability of getting both correct?

Well they are independent events so it is the probability of getting a correct answer multiplied by the probability of getting a correct answer on the second question. Short Answer: 1/5 times 1/5=1/25
