Why the probability is have a specified chance to be selected and why the non probability does not have an equal of being selected?

Probability is the number of occurrences of a specific event divided by the total number of possible events. Suppose you took a multiple choice test with 4 possible answer's A, B, C, D. Only 1 of the 4 choices is correct; so the probability of correct is 1/4 and the probability of incorrect is 3/4. Most of the time the two probabilities will not be the same.


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 are the odds against correctly guessing the answer to multiple choice question with 7 posssible answers?

6 to 1. (That is, 6 incorrect to 1 correct.) This is equaivalent to a probability of 1/7 or a 14% chance of guessing the correct answer.


Probability that both children are girls if there is 2 children?

There are several reasons that the question cannot have a proper answer. The first is that children's gender are not independent events. It is, therefore, wrong to multiply probabilities. Second, the probability of a girl is not 1/2. Current statistics show that it is approx 0.48. However, if you wish to ignore these relevant facts, the [incorrect] answer that is expected is 1/4.


If a student takes an 8 question true or false quiz and a student guesses each answer then what is the probability that heshe gets at least 1 correct?

The probability of getting at least 1 correct answer is equal to one minus theprobability of answering all incorrect, this would be;P(atleast 1 correct) =1 - P(allincorrect) =1 - (1/2)8 =1 - 0.00390625 ~~ 0.9961 ~ 99.61%
