Question 15492: I posted this earlier, but never received a response...hopefully you can help me!
Suppose there are 10 items on a true-false test. The person taking the test does not read the questions; he just anserw each question randomly. What is the probability of his guessing all answers correctly?
Thanks..any help would be great.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
There are only 2 out comes true or false and only one success so
probability of success in one trial = 1/2
it is same for every question and does not depend on other questions / answers haence for 10 questions
probability = (1/2)*(1/2)*(1/2)*...10 times = %281%2F2%29%5E10
