Holly is taking a multiple choice reading test. She has decided to guess on questions 3 and 7. On each question, there are four worded choices plus an "all of these" choice and a "none of these" choice. What is the probability that she answers question 3 correctly and question 7 incorrectly?

Question

anonymous · Answer

I seeee.. there are 6 choices ..of which only 1 is correct .. 

Hence, probability of getting any question wrong is 5/6 ..so probability of getting question 3 wrong will be 5/6 .. and the same for question 7 .. 

Therefore probability of answering both question 3 and 7 incorrectly is (5/6) multiplied by (5/6) which equals .. 25/36
