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.

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.

A multiple choice quiz consists of 6 questions each with 4 possible answers If a student guesses at the answer to each question then the mean number of correct answers is?

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


When test instructions say to Answer the multiple choice questions and fill in the blanks if known Does it mean to fill in the blanks only if known but answer all questions?

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.


What is the probability of answering 50 questions right out of 100?

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.
