A multiple choice test contains 10 questions with 5 answer choices. What is the probability of correctly answering 5 questions if you guess randomly on each question?A. 0.9936B. 0.2C. 0.0264D. 0.0003

Sagot :

If there are 10 questions with 5 answer choices, then first we need to find out the probability of getting the first questions randomly correct.

Therefore, that is:

[tex]\begin{gathered} Probability\text{ of getting 1 answer correct= }\frac{1}{5} \\ \\ Then\text{ if we need to get the second question correct it is:} \\ \frac{1}{5}(first\text{ question\rparen x }\frac{1}{5}=\text{ \lparen}\frac{1}{5})^2 \\ \\ And\text{ for the other questions applies the same. Therefore, if we need 5 correct answers, then:} \\ \frac{1}{5}\text{ x }\frac{1}{5}x\frac{1}{5\frac{}{}}x\frac{1}{5}x\text{ }\frac{1}{5}=\text{ \lparen}\frac{1}{5})^5\text{ = }\frac{1}{3125}=\text{ 0.0003} \end{gathered}[/tex]

The answer is D. 0.0003
