You need to guess on a multiple-choice question that has four options.

What are the odds that you choose the correct answer?

Answer 1

Its a 25% chance you choose the correct answer

Also 1/4 odds

Answer 2

1/4 (or 25%)

There are four possible outcomes, so the denominator of the fraction is 4.

There is only one correct answer, so the numerator of the fraction is 1.

This means the probability is 1/4, or 25%.
