Question

Henry predicted whether he got answers right or wrong in his 50 question exam. He identified the 36 questions he thought he got right. It turns out that Henry got 5 questions wrong that he thought he got correct and he only got 11 of the questions wrong he had predicted. What is the percentage accuracy he had with predicting his scores?

Answer 1

Answer:

84%

Step-by-step explanation:

Henry completed a total of 50 questions. From these 50 he predicted 36 were right and this means he also predicted that 14 were wrong (50-36 = 14). From these predictions 5 out of 36 from the ones that he predicted were right were actually wrong and 3 of the 14 questions (14-11 = 3) he predicted were wrong were actually right. Meaning in total he wrongly predicted 8 questions which means he predicted 42 correctly ...

42 / 50 = 0.84 = 84%

Therefore, Henry's prediction accuracy is 84%
