A student ran out of time on a multiple choice exam and guessed the answers for two problems.
Each problem had 4 answer choices - a,b,c,d- and only one correct answer.
What is the probability that he answered both of the problems correctly?
Write your answer as a fraction in lowest terms.
---
P(1st correct) = 1/4
P(2nd correct) = 1/4
---
P(both correct) = (1/4)^2 = 1/16
