Using the tree diagram, you just constructed and make a table showing the probability distribution of getting zero, one, or both questions right by guessing. (i attached the tree diagram)

I got: Probability of getting zero questions right by guessing: .5626(.75)= .42195 Probability of getting one question right by guessing: (0.75)(.1875)= .140625 (0.25)(.0625)= 0.015625 .140625+0.015625= .15625 but I'm not sure if i did it correctly, can someone check my answer please?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

don't multiply

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

the number on the right most nodes are the total probabilities already

OpenStudy (hockeychick23):

oh ok so the probability of getting zero right is .5625, getting one right is .25+.1875=.4375 and getting both right would be .1875?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

yes the probability of getting zero right is .5625,

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

the probability of getting 1 right is the sum of the two probability of the nodes in the tree that are exactly 1 right ansewer

OpenStudy (hockeychick23):

yea i got .25+.1875=.4375

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

ie P(1) = P(wr) + P(rw)

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

0.25 is the probability that the first question is right, but we want to add the probabilities that exactly one question is right

OpenStudy (hockeychick23):

oh sorry so its .1875+.0625= .25

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

nope
