In a multiple-choice test with 4 options (a, b, c, d) for each question, the probability of guessing correctly for each question is ( \frac{1}{4} ). If a student guesses on 10 questions, the expected number of correct guesses can be calculated by multiplying the number of questions by the probability of a correct guess: ( 10 \times \frac{1}{4} = 2.5 ). Therefore, the mean expected correct guesses for the student is 2.5.
Depends on the questions, and how they are answered. T/F, multiple choice, matching, essay, etc. Could be randomly answering, making educated guesses, or applying some amount of knowledge on the subject. Each of these impacts the probability of supplying correct answers.

The probability of getting a perfect score in a three-question true or false quiz is 100% if you studied and retained the subject matter and the questions addressed that subject. If, however, you did not study, and you made pure guesses without any bias towards an answer partially based in your (now rather poor) knowledge, then the probability of getting any one question correct is 50%, so the probability of getting all three questions correct is 50% to the third power, or 12.5%.
Each guess has a 25% chance of being correct and a 75% chance of being wrong. Guessing right or wrong on one question does not affect the odds on the next one.

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.

If there are four possible answers to a question, then a guessed answer would have a probability of 1 in 4. If there are six questions, then the mean number of correct answers would be six times 1 in 4, or 1.5
A test instruction that says, "Answer the multiple choice questions and fill in the blanks if known" could be very confusing to students (and students should ask for clarification before continuing the test). It should be written more clearly as, "Answer the multiple choice questions and fill in the blanks" because most often you are expected to answer all questions on a test. NOTE: If you ever see this on a standardized test, ASK before you start that section.
