Statistics and probability

Question

Find the probability of correctly answering the first two questions on a multiple choice test if random guesses are made and each question has 6 possible choices.

**USE 4 DECIMALS**

Answer 1

The probability of answering each question correctly is 1/6.

Since the two questions are independent events (the guess on the 2nd question is not affected by the guess on the first), the probability of answering both correctly is the product of their individual probabilities:

1/6 * 1/6 = 1/36 = 0.0278
