You go completely unprepared for a multiple choice quiz. The quiz has five questions, each with four answer choices. Describe a simulation that you could use to determine the experimental probability of guessing all five questions correctly.

Most likely your gonna fail

Average 50-75 range

Step-by-step explanation:

Mostly luck in this percentage thou

Thats common sense

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Computer languages love this kind of question. You could run it a million times and the computer would bring back an answer in under 10 seconds.

Let us suppose that 4 is the correct answer for all 5 questions.

Run the simulation 1000000 times. There is only 1 answer that is acceptable

select a random number from 1 to 4

do this 5 times

If all five random numbers are 4 then add 1 to counter which keeps track of the number of times 4 was chosen 5 times (it will be pretty small).

End by displaying the number of times 4 was chosen 5 times

Divide by 1 million.  

In running the simulation, I described using Delphi it ran the simulation in under 1 second. That is, took the test 1 million times.

I'm going to save this answer and if I can edit the  question I'll tell you what I got. If not, I suppose I could put it in a comment.

The experimental answer I got was 993 which is awfully close to 1/1000 which is approximately the theoretical answer. So my simulation that I described will work really well.

The theoretical answer is

1/4  *  1/4  * 1/4 * 1/4 *1/4 = 1 / 1024  So actually 1/1000 (which my simulation nearly got) is really kind of close.

There are other ways of doing this simulation.
