Suppose you go to the store and there are six kinds of cereal. Your mom tells you to pick one. When she comes back, you as her to guess which one you chose. Assuming she had no idea beforehand what your choice would be, how likely is it that she will guess the correct one?

She has a 1/6 chance of guessing the correct cereal that you picked up. Since there were six cereal options.
