1/5 or 0.2
There is 1 right answer out of 5 possible answers, so the probability of guessing it correctly is 1/5 or 20% or 0.2.
The probability will depend on how much you know and the extent of guessing.
1/3. Indeed, there were four answers you had to choose from. If one is eliminated as you know it is definitely wrong, then you are left with three possible answers, one of which is correct. Thus you have 1 correct answer out of three possible, and the probability to randomly pick the correct one is 1 out of 3, or 1/3 or 33.333 %

The probability will depend on how much you know and the extent of guessing.
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
The odds of getting 100 percent on a 10 question multiple choice test with 2 possible answers for each question can be calculated using the probability formula. Since there are 2 options for each question, the probability of getting a question right by guessing is 1/2 or 0.5. To calculate the probability of getting all 10 questions correct by guessing, you would multiply the probability of getting each question right (0.5) by itself 10 times, resulting in a probability of (0.5)^10, which is approximately 0.0009765625 or 0.09765625%.

To find the probability of getting at least 6 correct answers on a 10-question multiple-choice exam where each question has 5 choices (with only one correct answer), we can model this situation using the binomial probability formula. The probability of guessing correctly on each question is ( p = \frac{1}{5} ) and incorrectly is ( q = \frac{4}{5} ). We need to calculate the sum of probabilities for getting exactly 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 correct answers. Using the binomial formula, the probability ( P(X = k) ) for each ( k ) can be computed, and then summed to find ( P(X \geq 6) ). The resulting probability is approximately 0.0163, or 1.63%.
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.
