There are 11 possible total correct answers, 0-10. Since each answer has exactly a 50/50 chance of being correct, the midpoint, '5', will have the highest probability of being the total number of correct answers. The probability graph (or table) will be a bell curve. The probability of '5' is the highest, '4' and '6' are the next highest, then '3' and '7', etc., all the way down to '0' and '10'.
