You are given a multiple choice test consisting of 10 questions. Each question has 3 choices. If you guess at all of the answers, what is the probability that you will choose the incorrect answer for each question?
------------------
P(incorrect on a single question) = 2/3
P(incorrect on all 10 = (2/3)^10 = 0.01734...
