Jennifer is taking a four question multiple choice test. each question has four possible answers. if she guesses on all of the questions, what is the probability that she gets three of the four questions correct? [round to three decimal places.]
Question
Answer:
probability of getting the correct answer in the first question is 1/4probability of getting the correct answer in the second question is 1/4
probability of getting the correct answer in the second question is 1/4 the probability that he gets one question wrong is 3/4
which is 1/4*1/4*1/4*3/4=3/256
for the four questions because he may get the first answer correct and my be the second question wrong, or the the third wrong and the other correct or the first wrong and others correct we should take care of all this by
multiplying 3/256*4=12/256
=0.046875
in three decimal places we have 0.047
