Beyond the Answer
To find the probability that the student selects the correct answer on none of the questions, we first determine the probability of getting a question wrong. With 5 possible answers for each question, there is 1 correct answer and 4 incorrect answers. Thus, the probability of picking an incorrect answer is: \[ P(\text{incorrect}) = \frac{4}{5} \] Since the student answers all 5 questions and we want the probability of getting all of them wrong, we raise the probability of getting a question wrong to the power of the number of questions: \[ P(\text{none correct}) = \left(\frac{4}{5}\right)^5 \] Calculating this value: \[ P(\text{none correct}) = \frac{4^5}{5^5} = \frac{1024}{3125} \] So, the probability that none of the questions are answered correctly is: \[ \frac{1024}{3125} \]
