Answer:

Actually, the correct answer is 1/32.

Explanation:

There is one true/false question, so it equals
(1)/(2) since it only has 2 answers to choose from.

There are two multiple choice questions with 4 possible answers, which is equivalent to
(1)/(4) ×
(1)/(4)

From here, we form the equation:


(1)/(2) \\ ×
(1)/(4) ×
(1)/(4) =
(1)/(32)

Therefore, the answer is 1/32.

3/10 because there is  true false question which is only 2 option. Than 2 multiple choice which would be 8 8+2=10
