OpenStudy (teddyiswatshecallsme):

Jade why do you have to do math? We all know we ain't good at dis. XDDD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1?

OpenStudy (jadeishere):

I'm really good at math, actually, it's why I know the answer. Nope, all ya'll are wrong

OpenStudy (xxmuslimxx):

1/4

OpenStudy (ghostedly):

So, you gave us 4 answer choices, we said everyone of them, WHICH ONE IS IT :O

OpenStudy (jadeishere):

Think about it

OpenStudy (ghostedly):

I am...

OpenStudy (xxmuslimxx):

You are supposed to give in a fraction, right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its a choice, not a proability?

OpenStudy (xxmuslimxx):

It has to be 2 out of 4!

OpenStudy (jadeishere):

There's a 0% chance of it being either of the answers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/4, because it asks for the probability of choosing the right answer, but arent they all wrong?

OpenStudy (ghostedly):

I get it.

OpenStudy (xxmuslimxx):

Me too.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahh I see lol

OpenStudy (jadeishere):

If the answer is 1/4, then we know two out of four answer choices is '1/4', the answer has be 1/2. If the answer is 1/2 then because answer:"1/2" is 1 out of 4 answer choices, the answer must be 1/4. If the answer is 1 then because answer:"1" is 1 out of 4 answer choices, the answer must be 1/4. All these are contradictions to each other xD

OpenStudy (teddyiswatshecallsme):
