Suppose that you are driving and you come to an intersection where you can only turn in one of three different directions, but only one road leads to your destination. If you choose a road at random, what are the chances that you choose the correct road? 1 out of 2, because you either choose correctly, or you choose incorrectly There is not enough information to determine the probability ОООО 2 out of 3, because your probabilities of choosing the correct road are better than your probabilities of choosing an incorrect road. 1 out of 3, as there are three choices, but only one is correct

1 out of 3, as there are three choices, but only one is correct​

Here, we want to get the correct probability

From the question, upon reaching the intersection, there are three roads to choose from

Out of these three, only one is correct

The probability of selecting it is just 1/3

Hence, our answer is that;

1 out of 3, as there are three choices, but only one is correct​
