Each question of a five-question multiple choice exam has four possible answers. Whitney picks an answer at random for each question. Find the probability that she selects the correct answer on only the second and third question.

P(correct) = 1/4
P(wrong) = 3/4
-------------------------
P(WRRW) = (3/4)^2(1/4)^2 = 9/16^2
