You are given a multiple choice test consisting of 10 questions. Each question has 4 choices. If you quess at all of the answers, what is the probability that you will choose the incorrect answer for each question? My answer is:
4 * 10 = 40 40/10 = 4%
---------------
P(wrong answer on one question) = 3/4
P(wrong answer on all ten questions) = (3/4)^10 = 0.0563
which is a little more than 5%

3/4 is the probability to choose the incorrect answer in each question
so answer is (3/4)^10
