Question

You need to guess on a multiple-choice question that has four options.

What are the odds that you choose the correct answer?

1/3
3/1
1/4
4/1

note* i picked 1/4 the first time and it was wrong so im confused

Answer 1

Explanation:

The question is to figure out the odds not the probability.

So you should use the equation

Number of favorable outcomes/number of unfavorable outcomes

So the equation would look like 25/75=1/3 25 being the favorable outcomes and 75 being the unfavorable outcomes. That's why the answer is 1/3

Answer 2

It should be 1/4 no other answer makes sense
