[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 43030, member: 2423"] Sheila, the question above is independent. Question 1's answer is not dependent on question 2's, question 3's or question 4's answers (in other words, there'a 50 percent chance on each question that it's true or false independent of the other questions' answers). So the answer is 0.5 X 0.5 X 0.5 X 0.5 = 0.0625 or 6.25 percent probability of getting all four questions right. [/QUOTE]
