Question

There is a multiple choice quiz with six questions and five possible answers and only one choice is correct what is the probability you get your first and only incorrect answer on the fourth question?n

Answer 1

Answer:1/1875

Explanation:

the probability of getting any one question correct is 1/5, and the probability of getting any one question incorrect is 4/5.

The probability of getting the first three questions correct and the fourth question incorrect can be calculated as follows:

(1/5) * (1/5) * (1/5) * (4/5) = 4/3125

Since there are six possible positions for the incorrect answer to occur (first, second, third, fourth, fifth, or sixth), the probability of getting the first and only incorrect answer on the fourth question is 4/3125 * 1/6 = 1/1875.
