Getting 0 on a multiple choice is a statistical accomplishment greater than getting 100

u/Pandoratastic 19d ago

Not remotely true.

Assuming there are 36 questions, with four options in each question, the odds of randomly getting them all wrong are (3/4)^36 = 0.00318% (about 1 in 31,400).

The odds of randomly getting them all right are (1/4)^36 = 0.0000000000000000000212% (about 1 in 4,722,366,482,869,645,213,696).

So both are extremely unlikely but the zero is about 150 quadrillion times more likely than the 100.

[(1/4)36 is] about 1 in 4,722,366,482,869,645,213,696

about? 😂

1/10² is about 1 in 100.
