Question

Laila guesses on all 20 questions of a multiple-choice test. each question has 4 answer choices. what is the probability of a success and a failure for this experiment? p (success) = one-fourth; p (failure) = three-fourths p (success) = one-fourth; p (failure) = one-half p (success) = three-fourths; p (failure) = one-fourth p (success) = 1; p (failure) = 0

Answer 1

The probability of a success and a failure is as follows,

P(success) = one - fourth

P(failure) = three - fourth

Definition of Probability

The area of mathematics that deals with numerical representations of the likelihood that an event will occur or that a statement is true is known as Probability. An event's probability is a number between 0 and 1, where, 0  generally denotes the event's impossibility and 1 denotes certainty of that event.

Calculating the Probability

The formula for finding the probability of an event to occur is given by,

P = (favorable outcomes)÷(total number of outcomes)

Now, it is given that each multiple choice question consists of 4 choices.

And, out of these four choices, only one answer is true.

Then, if Laila guesses the answer, the probability of choosing the right answer is given by,

P(success) =1/4

Thus, the probability of choosing the wrong answer will be,

p(failure) = 1 - P(success)

⇒ P(failure) = 1 - (1/4)

⇒ P(failure) = 3/4
