Question

What are the odds of selecting the correct answer on a multiple choice test when there are four answer choices?A. 1:4B. 1:3C. 1:5D. 1:2

Answer 1

A. 1:4

Step-by-step explanation:

The probability is defined as

probability = favorable outcome / total number of outcomes

Now in our case, the favorable outcome is selecting the correct answer choice.

Out of four answer choices, only one is correct.

Therefore, the probability that we select a correct answer is

`1/4`

Hence, choice A is the correct answer!
