Answer:

Each person would receive maximum 0.8 pounds of potato.

Given:

Total Amount of Potato = 16 pounds.

Number of people attend reunion = 20

Solution:

largest amount of potato each person would receive can be calculated by dividing Total Amount of Potato with Number of people attend the reunion.

The probability that you will guess the first answer correctly  =  1/2  =  0.5
The probability that you will guess the second answer correctly  =  1/2  =  0.5
The probability that you will guess the third answer correctly  =  1/2  =  0.5

The probability that you will guess all three answers correctly is

                (0.5) x (0.5) x (0.5)  =  0.125  =  12.5% .

Statistically, if your answers are all pure guesses, 
then on the average, the score you expect is

      (0 + 33-1/3 + 33-1/3 + 33-1/3 + 66-2/3 + 66-2/3 + 66-2/3 + 100) / 8

   =                  400 / 8

   =                      50%  .  

If you're happy with that score, great !  
Go to the movies the night before the test,
and start guessing.
