A short quiz has two true-false questions and one multiple-choice question with four choices. A student guesses at each question. Assuming the choices are all equally likely, what is the probability that the student gets all three correct.
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "The events are independent, so P(A and B) = P(A)*P(B)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "P(2 correct on true-false) = (1/2)(1/2) = 1/4
\n" ); document.write( "P(1 correct mult-choice) = 1/4
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "P(this and that) = (1/4)(1/4) = 1/16
\n" ); document.write( "============================================
