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% .

Here are all the ways your answer sheet could wind up:
(R = a right answer. W = a wrong answer.)
W W W
W W R
W R W
W R R

Number of possible ways to score 0 right out of 3 questions: 1 way
Number of possible ways to score 1 right out of 3 questions: 3 ways
Number of possible ways to score 2 right out of 3 questions: 3 ways
Number of possible ways to score 3 right out of 3 questions: 1 way
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.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
7 - 3(-3) - 3(7) = 7 + 9 - 21 = 16 - 21 = -5
