Question

Maya is playing a trivia game with multiple choice questions. Each question has 2 22 correct answers among 5 55 answer choices. Maya has no idea what the answers to a certain question are, so she needs to choose two different answers at random. What is the probability that maya's first guess is correct and her second guess is incorrect?.

Answer 1

0.3 or 3/10

Explanation:

First guess:

chance it is right: 2/5

chance it is wrong: 3/5

Second guess, if first is right:

chance it is right: 1/4

chance it is wrong: 3/4

therefore we multipy 2/5 and 3/4 and get a simplified answer of 3/10
