If a six question true-false question exam was given. How many ways could the exam be answered?

what is the probability you would get a perfect score?If a six question true-false question exam was given. How many ways could the exam be answered?
Well the first guy is wrong. The chance of you getting one rightis 1/2 then 2 right is 1/4 then 1/8 so keep going and you get that 1/64 chance of getting a perfect score if guessingIf a six question true-false question exam was given. How many ways could the exam be answered?
Scoot is incorrect. There are two possible answers for the first question. No matter what you choose for it, there are two other possibilities after each of those for question #2 and so on. Thus you have:





2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2





or





2^6





which is 64 possible answer combinations for the test. Your chances of randomly guessing all of them perfectly would be 1/64.
Six questions x 2 possible answers for each question = 12 possible answers.





Well each question is worth 8%. So the chances that you would get a perfect score would be 1/12.
