What is the probability of getting a zero for feelings on the Myers-Briggs test?

In order to calculate such probability, you have to know the number of questions in that particular Myers Briggs test that refer to the Thinking/Feeling dichotomy. Assuming that you will pick answers randomly, the probability will be lower when there are more questions. For 8 questions on T/F preference, there is a 12.5% probability for a score of 0 on Feeling. For 16 questions, the probability is 6.2%. For 32 questions, the probability is 3.1%. etc. If you pick your answers according to your own beliefs, it would be very difficult to assess such a probability. However there will be a approx. 30% higher chance for a man to score 0 on Feeling than for a woman.


How do you answer an experimental probability?

Experimental probability is not something that needs to be, or even can be, answered. There may be particular instances in which there are questions about experimental probability and they can only be answered in the context on which they arose.


There are five questions on a quiz with four possible answers what is the probability you get 100 percent?

Probability of each question correct is 1/4 or 0.25. Since there are 5 questions, raise 0.25 to the 5th power or (0.25)5. So, probability all correct is 0.0009765.

The probability is 0.48


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.


How do you write an answer to a probability question?

Probability questions are not all the same so there is not a single kind of answer: it depends on the nature of the question!

How do you solve probability?

You cannot. Probability is not a question or puzzle to be solved, it is a subject - a branch of mathematics. There are questions within the scope of the subject that may be solved.
