Each question has four choices, then the probability to guess a correct answer is p= \frac{1}{4} and the probability to select incorrect choice is  q=1-p=1- \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4}.

You have a 5-question multiple-choice test, then n=5. The <span>probability that you will guess exactly three out of five questions correctly is </span>

Answer with explanation:

Number of Multiple Choice Question=5

Number of choices =4

Out of 4 choices one is correct Option.

Probability of Correct answer P(C→Correct)

  =\frac{\text{Total favorable Outcome}}{\text{Total Possible Outcome}}=\frac{1}{4}

Probability of Incorrect answer P(IC→Incorrect Answer)

   1-\frac{1}{4}=\frac{3}{4}

→Experimental Probability of guessing three out of five questions correctly

= 3 Correct +2 Incorrect

=_{3}^{5}\textrm{C}[P(C)]^3\times [P(I C)]^2\\\\=\frac{5!}{3!\times 2!}\times[\frac{1}{4}]^3 \times[\frac{3}{4}]^2\\\\=10 \times \frac{1}{64} \times \frac{9}{16}\\\\=\frac{90}{1024}\\\\=0.87890

  =0.88(approx)
