Question
Multiple-choice questions each have 3 possible answers, one of which is correct. Assume that you
guess the answers to 5 such questions.
Use the multiplication rule to find the probability that the first four guesses are wrong and the fifth
is correct. That is, find P(WW WWC), where C denotes a correct answer and W denotes a wrong
answer.
