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 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


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.


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.


What is the probability that if you just guess on five multiple choice questions each with four possible answers you will get none of the questions correct?

.237 or about 24 %


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.


In a multiple choice question with five possible answers what is the probability the correct answer will be found?

1/5 or 0.2


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.


Tristan guesses on two multiple-choice questions on a test if each question has five possibe answers choices what is the probability that he gets the first one correct and the second one incorrect?

4/25


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


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
