Solution

- The probability of him getting 1 queston correctly given tahat there is only one correct option out of 4 optins,


\begin{gathered} P(correct)=(1)/(4) \\ \\ P(incorrect)=1-P(correct) \\ P(incorrect)=1-(1)/(4)=(3)/(4) \end{gathered}

- Since here are questions, it implies that there are multiplye trials the student has.
