Answer:

17%

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Out of the 6 options, only 1 option will be correct. This can be represented as a ratio of 1:6.

If you randomly guess, there is an equal chance of choosing any of the 6 options.

To find the percentage of guessing the correct option, simply divide 1 by 6 (1 option is correct out of 6), and multiply the outcome by 100 (for percentage).

  • 1:6 = 1/6
  • 1/6 = 0.16666..... ≈ 0.17
  • 0.17 * 100 = 17%

The probability of getting an answer correct would be 17%.

The probability of getting an answer wrong would be 83%, which can be found by subtracting 17% from 100%.
