What is the probability of answering a multiple choice question correctly If you know that one of the answer if definitely wrong but you have to guess between the 3 remaining answers?
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 %

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 3 choices what is the probanility of guessing the correct answers to both questions?
