A student takes a 5 question quiz with 4 choices for each question if the student guesses at random on each question what is the probability that the student gets exactly 4 questions correct?

This is abinomial distribution; number of trials (n) is 5, probability of success (p) is 1/4 or 0.25. With this information you can go to a Binomial Distribution Table and find the solution. Within the section of values for n=5 and p=.25, read from the section the probability of 4 which is 0.0146 (see related link for table).

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.
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
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 test has 2 multiple choice questions each with 5 choices what is the probability of guessing the correct answers to both questions?
You have a 4 percent chance of guessing both answers correctly assuming there is only one correct answer to each question and that you may only answer once per question.

A test has 2 multiple choice questions each with 3 choices what is the probanility of guessing the correct answers to both questions?
The probability of getting both answers correct is one chance in nine (0.1111+). There are three possible answers for each question, so there is a 1/3 chance of getting the correct answer to one question. To get the correct answer for both questions, the chances are 1/3 x 1/3 or 1/9.

In a multiple choice test what is the probability of getting two answers correct?
That depends on how many questions there are, how many choices are listed for each question, and whether any obviously-stupid answers are included among the choices. If any of those factors changes, then the probability changes. One thing we can guarantee, however, even without knowing any of these factors: If you have studied the subject and know the material, then your probability of getting correct answers increases dramatically.
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.
What is the probability of guessing the correct answer to a multiple choice question if there are five choices?
Not sure what a mulitple choice qustion is but if it is anything like a multiple choice question, it is 1/5 or 20%. I strongly advise you to get a dictionary, learn to spell or use a spell checker.
What is the probability of randomly guessing at least 8 questions correct on a 10 question true-or-false quiz?
It is 0.0547
On a true or false quiz with a total of four questions what is the probability of getting all four questions correct given that the answers to the first two questions are correct?
you'd have a 50% chance of getting the 3rd and 4th question correct because you said the first 2 questions are already anwsered correctly :)
What is the probability of getting 100 percent on a four question quiz?
If it is a T/F test; probability correct for each question is 0.5. Since there are 4 questions, raise 0.5 to the 4th power; e.g. (0.5)4. So, probability all correct is 0.0625. If a 4 part multiple choice, P(correct) = .25 so raise .25 to the 4th power, or .003906.
