Yes he did. In the movie, it was a true/false test. This is a multiple choice test.

u/Beautiful-Musk-Ox 19d ago

in a true false test the odds of getting 0% equals that of getting 100% if randomly choosing, but the other person said 0% was less likely than 100%

u/Spectator9857 19d ago

Yeah, because they weren’t talking about a true/false test.

u/Dry_Category3955 19d ago

If its multiple choice, 0% is more likely than 100%. So what test they are talking about?

u/Drumedor 19d ago

A test with multi-choice test where there are multiple correct answers per question, but don't see those being run very often.

u/Spectator9857 19d ago

Yes. Correct. The post is showing a multiple choice test, so they were more likely to get a 0 than a 100.

The person I responded to seems to think it’s a true/false test and doesn’t grasp that a different situation would have different odds.

A book report I guess.

Maybe the test the post is about?
