the education system here is a mess

25. You have 4 options. Not 2. Moron.

You first, I insist. I am grateful that you and your diaspora have generously been providing us with top talent from India and Africa, but as your Greatest Ally, I would be bereft to deny you of that same privilege

2 of the answers are correct retard

of 4 multiple choice answers the correct answer is most often C).

t. test taker since 1968

Indeed
Unlucky
Two of the answers are the same. There's only three options. The illusion of choice. You either get pepsi or you get coke. 50/50.

If 25% is correct how could the answer be 50%? It becomes a paradox. Now the 25% answers are both wrong.

But two of the answers are 25; thus, if someone picked a answer at random, he would get the "correct" answer 50 percent of the time.
But if he picks 50, he will not pick either one of the answers with 25. This means that he will never be able to pick the right answer. The question is a paradox.

The answer to the question is 25% so either A or D is correct because you’re picking it RANDOMLY as if you can’t even see the answers. Hypothetically you can only see the amount of options
If your looking at the answers then there are 3 options making the correct percentage 33.33% not 50%

Are you all really that dumb. By simple deduction, clearly the answer is 0%, none of the answers can be correct, all of them are wrong.

33.3% (2) chances at 25 (1) chance on the other 2; only three unique answers; if each 25% is unique then the answer is 25% - there is not enough info to answer conclusively no matter what. it is a poorly worded question and a time trap.

3!/4!

33.33%

That's the same problem as 50%, if the answer is not 25% then it's 25% but it can't be 25% because there are two 25% answers

timewasting question

what are long nosed men trying to hide?

It would be a good question to put as extra credit at the end of a test, in a math class that introduces probability and statistics.

This is correct, since two of the answers are 25%, a and d. As a result you can deduce that both 25% are wrong so you are only picking at random between b and c and one of those is right so 50%. Easy peasy lemon squeezey.

Any number of things. Current happening threads are the big CME (non happening), anti-masturbation method (semi happening), and something about Taiwan (happening potential). Bump.

If you're using deduction you're not picking an answer at random.

You can’t deduce that a or b is wrong when you are picking 1 out of 4 options RANDOMLY.

25% would be wrong. 50% would be wrong. 60% would be wrong. There is zero percent chance of picking a correct answer at random.

Ah, I see what you did there.

i've seen it before, and i've thought about it, and i think the answer is 25% because of the following:
1) typically, you can only have one correct answer in a multiple choice format
2) if you ignore the values and adhere to (1) then you would randomly get the correct answer 1 in 4 times.
i am open to other points of view on this, though.

Can and did, it didn't specify full random.

If you pick them at random, you have a 50% chance of picking 25%.

25% is mentioned twice, so the answer is 50%, and since that answer is also given, that would make the chances 75%, and if that is put as the 4th answer, then all answers would be correct or 100%but since there is no space for 100% then all answers would be wrong vis a vie 0%

100%

this question makes low iq retards seethe and dialate

correct answer is B > 60%

you have to be a low iq nigger to get it wrong lmao

Kind of this. The writer of the question probably wants you to circle the "50%".
Yet you have four potential answers. Regardless if two of them are identical, your options for answers are A, B, C, and D.
Your theoretical potential for a correct answer regardless of what A,B,C, and D represent is still 1 in 4, thus 25%.
But they still want to see "50%".

Oh hey, another episode of easily solved problem with an obvious answer. Followed by an entire thread of bots stirring the pot with equally obvious wrong answers. It's like I'm still back in 2019.

there is only 1 option for 50% though, and that would be the right answer...

so that would be a 25% chance.

the answer is this is a nonsense question for engagement farming. works every time.

25% is two options retard.

Disgusting kike nose

you're right, anon.
we should talk about farts and impotent libshits.

The answer is 50%.

In a multiple choice question with four answers, the chance of randomly selecting the right answer IS 25%.
But 25% is on there twice.
25% is the right answer, but since you can randomly select it twice the right answer is 50%.
25% is the right answer for a randomly selected four answer multiple choice and you have a 50% chance of selecting the right answer, 25%.

If you cannot understand this, then you're no different to a muslim who cannot fathom the Trinity.
You're literally too stupid to grasp this question because you cannot comprehend something having more than one property, or two things sharing the same space.

This question is the ultimate intelligence test.

A and D are the same answer, though. How could A still be correct while D is false? Unless this is a test on how Scantrons work.

its somewhere between 25 and 33, i would say 33 due to the duplicate answer but the chance that the duplicate can be wrong brings it back down to 25 in that hypothetical, so some wizard math formula probably puts it between 25 and 33 in actuality.

And the sheepfucking coconut proves me right.

A and D are both correct and thus the correct answer is C

based sly cooper appreciator

25% chance you randomly choose the correct answer on any given question.

However the answer, “25%” appears twice. So you have 50% chance to choose the correct answer at random.

However it says “THIS QUESTION” but the correct answer to this question is up to interpretation — so in theory you could argue that “75%” of the choices could be considered correct.

This question is gay.

i have changed my mind.
i think all of the answers are wrong.
here's why:
suppose that the answer is 25%.
well you have a 50% chance of randomly selecting 25% as the answer, so that can't be right.
now, suppose that 50% is right. but, there's only a 1 in 4 chance of randomly selecting that, so that can't be right either.
now, suppose that 60% is correct. but, there's a 1 in 4 chance of randomly selecting that.
since none of the answers align with their actual probabilities of being selected, then all of the answers must be wrong.
it was confusing until i worked it backwards.
now, i'm bored and can talk about farts.

But if 75% of the choices are correct, then there is a 0% chance of answering the question correctly since none of the choices are 75%.

The answer is E, a waste of time.

This one's easy the correct answer is to leave it blank and or write a note calling your teacher a retard

FUCKING WROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG

A four answer multiple choice question has a 25% of being answered correctly if an answer is picked at random.
With 25% on there twice, you have two chances to randomly select 25%, which is the right answer.
Ergo if you ANSWER THE QUESTION INTENTIONALLY you know that you have a 50% chance to answer it correctly if you ANSWER RANDOMLY.
Random 25%
Intentional 50%, because you know the right answer regarding a random answer is 25%

Can you faggots seriously not think in abstract?
How would you feel if you didn't eat breakfast this morning?

Another bot slide thread, but instead of incel/race/religion bait, now they are using misc engagement bait from facebook that was already discussed to the death.

Math education is fucked up for reasons like this question. Badly worded questions. The question should read, "If you randomly chose an answer to a question with four DIFFERENT multiple choice answers, then what are the chances you will get it correct?" Or replace the phrase "four different muliple choice answers" with "four multiple choice answers and two of them are the same"...1st instance is 25%, 2nd is 50.
Yes, the way you phrase a math question matters.

There's no right answer you dummy

This the correct answer

As I said, they want "C"/50%, but if you were to remove the figures, and consider that you have four potential answers, the odds are 1/4.

This is the kind of question that teaches students how to answer test questions, and not think too far into the question itself.

"What I'm telling you right now is false."
Self-referential conclusions are nonsense, anon.

that's the joke

It's supposed to be a paradox, it isn't just a poorly written question and even if you replaced 60% with what would be the correct answer (0%) it still holds true since selecting 0 would itself be a 25% chance, not zero

This question is the ultimate intelligence test

It's b) 60%, you see, since a) & d) are 25%, which is what the answer would be, the answer must be (c 50%, but if the answer is 50%, then it must be a 25% chance to pick it at random, making a) & d) the answer once again. This is where you have to ingratiate the parabolas and logorithmiacally adjust the decibles, which, gives you x = 25% + 25% then you take the 15% out of the second 25%, giving you x = 25% + 15%(+10%) then you carry the c) over and add that to the 10% after discarding the 25% and the 15% since you don't need those anymore.

If you consider only the percents of the 3 answers, 25% 50% or 60%. And picked randomly, then it would be 33%.
However the way it's written seems like they want you to roll a 4 sided die.

1 -> A) 25%

2 -> B) 60%

3-> C) 50%

4 -> D) 25%

So there's a 50% chance you select A or D, 25% B, 25% C. If A or D are the right answer, since they're the same then you have a 50% of being right. If B or C are right then you only have a 25% chance.

Just overhaul the whole damn system. No schools, no school shootings, no staff, no unions. Everybody can learn online like the pandemic. It's a shitty education, but it's an equally shitty education.

It wouldn't. There is no correct answer.

The question is flawed. Two answers cannot be the same, or then the probability corresponding to each value is not one-to-one, meaning there is no probability, since it changes depending on what you choose.

the last five math questions ive seen posted in Anon Babble were all unanswerable paradoxes

On Anon Babble always assume the question has no answer and that op is trolling

0%, because right answer is 33.33_%

How do we fix the American School System?

Dissolve the Department of Education, and uphold a Far Right National Socialist (non-groyper) school system.

What is the answer to the question found on this question sheet?

25%.

Dunning Kruger is full force with this one. Kind of impressive really

what I was thinking

that is the most obviously broken question i've seen in a while
common core strikes again

Only three digit IQ in the thread.

there's only 4 options

brainlet

leave it blank

at least one retard almost has the frontal lobe capacity to stumble on the realization that there are more than 4 possible answers, such as leaving it blank, like Prof. Swartzowitz can't force you to answer so blank is an possible answer. This anon must be mulato or quadroon.

only 2 are correct

Considering that there are 5 possible answers, there are now 4 that are partially correct, and form an interdependent reference, the two 25%'s and now the 60% answer (accounting for 3 of the 5 or 60%). An "interdependent reference" in computer programming or system design refers to a situation where multiple elements (like variables, classes, or processes) rely on each other for their functionality or data. Essentially, they are linked together, and a change in one can affect the others, like this question.

60%

How do you do my fellow white american scholar?

This just proves how few white people are on this board.

It's clear, that

- 25% is the correct answer.
- BUT, it's given twice, so our 25% chance is doubled now. = we are now at 50% chance.
- BUT 50% is also present... So now we are at: A+C+D is all correct answer. So 3/4=75% chance of right answer (as 3 are correct out of 4).
- BUT There is no 75% answer. So it makes our chances 0%. Which is also not present...

What am i missing?

Correct answer is not displayed.
There are four answers, and if they were unique answers then you have a 25% chance of choosing correctly, so any answer that says 25% would be the correct answer (granted you chose at random as per the question, so what we are answering here to begin with is nonsensical, but that aside). However there are two 25% answers (a and d), so, 2 of the 4 answers are the correct answer, therefore making the correct answer no longer 25%, as two of the four possible answers would be 'correct', and if 2 of the 4 are correct then the 25% answer would be incorrect, so it is safe to assume that what we can say definitively is that 25% is an incorrect answer. So other than 25%, there are two unique answers, 60% and 50%, and if one of them were to be correct, then that once again means that 3 of the 4 questions are incorrect (granted 2 of the 4 is 25%, and the last being likely 60% but irrelevant even if it were the 50% option), that would still mean you have a 1 in 4 chance at randomly choosing correctly, 25%.
The only correct answer would be if b was 50% instead of 60%, then you would have a 50% chance of choosing the right answer, and both b and c would be correct answers, but you have just as likely a chance to choose a and d - ergo 50% chance.
In short, the answer to the question changes the question, so if there actually is a 50% chance of choosing the correct answer, then the actual chance of choosing the correct answer would actually only be 25% as there is only one 50% answer out of the four given, so this changes it from 50% to 25%, and so on.
Again the solution would be to change b to 50% and that would make the question self referential and also solvable. How it is written now opens the door, get on the floor, everybody walk the dinosaur! BOOM BOOM ACKLAKKALAKKA BOOM BOOM BOOM ACKLAKKALAKKA BOOM!
