If a multiple-choice question has five answer choices and you submit one wrong answer before getting the question correct how much credit will you lose for that part of the question?

question with options, you will lose of the credit for that question. Just like the similar multiple-choice penalty on most standardized tests, this rule is necessary to prevent random guessing.
With five choices, your chance of getting the question wrong is 80% when guessing, and every wrong answer costs you 1/4 of a point. In this case, leave it blank with no penalty. Guessing becomes a much better gamble if you can eliminate even one obviously incorrect response. If you can narrow the choices down to three possibilities by eliminating obvious wrong answers

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
If You guesses on a multiple choice question and there were 4 choices for the problem what is the percent of probability you will guess wrong?
If there are 4 choices and you randomly choose one, you have a 25% chance that it will be correct, with 75% that it will be wrong. However, if there is one answer that you know is not correct, you can eliminate that one. Then if you choose from the remaining three, you will have increased your chances of getting it right to 33%. That doesn't sound like a whole lot, but it really would help you.
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.
On an eight question true false quiz a student guesses each answer What is the probability that he gets at least One of the answers correct?
The probability of getting at least 1 answer correct = 1 - Probability of getting all answers correct.So in your case it for be P(at least 1 answer correct) = 1 - 1/256where 256 is your sample space, |S| = 2^8.

Can you get a correct answer to an incorrect question?
If you sent an incorrect question, you can try asking again. You have a better chance of getting a correct answer if the question is correct.
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.
If You guesses on a multiple choice question and there were 4 choices for the problem what is the percent of probability you will guess wrong?
If there are 4 choices and you randomly choose one, you have a 25% chance that it will be correct, with 75% that it will be wrong. However, if there is one answer that you know is not correct, you can eliminate that one. Then if you choose from the remaining three, you will have increased your chances of getting it right to 33%. That doesn't sound like a whole lot, but it really would help you.
Using excel including histogram info how do I get the probablilty of 7 questions 4 possible answers 1 being correct the probalility of out of 200 students getting the correct asnwer?
There is not enough information to answer the question sensibly. Is it implied that out of 200 students not one knew the answer to any one of the seven questions? And that all pupils had to make random choices for each question? Is that at all credible?
What is the probability of getting this question correct A.25 B.50 C.60 D.25?
60
What is the correct spelling of getting?
Getting is the correct spelling.
What is the probability of getting exactly 7 out of 12 multiple choice questions right if a student randomly guesses one of the five possible choices for each question?
It is 0.0033
What is the best letter to chose on the ACT when you don't know the answer?
There is no best letter to choose; the test makers are aware of people trying to guess, so they purposely make it difficult to do so. Any guess is a guess and only gives you a 25% or 20% chance of getting the question correct (depending on if there are four or ive choices).
What is the probability of answering a 9 question true false test correctly if you randomly guess?
The probability of getting the first answer correct is 1/2 The probability of getting the first two correct is 1/2 * 1/2 = 1/(22) The probability of getting all 9 correct is 1/(29) = 1/512 which is just under 0.2%
