    Probability? Isn't that math?

    These questions are more appropriately termed multiple guess, for those of us who have difficulty choosing between the "distracters." Distracters are the questions which do not reflect how the test maker was thinking (about which was correct) and are "wrong" answers. These multiple-guess exams, test logical thinking skills, your knowledge of how the test creator thinks and touch on subject matter a bit, and are easy to grade.

    what's the probability that you guess correctly on the first question? 1/5

    the second? 1/5

    (1/5) (1/5) = (1/25)
