Answer:

12 correct answers

Explanation:

It is given that :

The probability of a student guessing the correct answer for a five choice multiple choice question is
$\text{P(correct)}=0.2$

Number of multiple choice questions = 60

So the number of correct answers that a student are expected to guess correctly on the test is :


$=60 * 0.2$

= 12
