In a multiple-choice quiz about the 2024 election, what's the probability of correctly guessing both the Democratic presidential and vice presidential nominees if given 4 options for each?
The probability is 1/16 or 0.0625 or 6.25%.
{"reasoning_type": "probabilistic"}
Kamala Harris is the Democratic presidential nominee and Tim Walz is her running mate for the 2024 election. In a multiple-choice quiz with 4 options for each position, the probability of guessing correctly for each nominee is 1/4. To get both correct, we multiply these probabilities: 1/4 * 1/4 = 1/16.
