The probability that you are correct by making a random guess is 1/5.

According to the given question.

On a multiple choice test, each question has 5 possible answers.

As we know that probability, is a measure of the likelihood of an event to occur. It is calculated by taking the ratios of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes.

Here, it is given that there are 5 possible answers of one question.

⇒ Total number of outcomes = 5

Also, only one answer will correct out of 5 possible answers.

Which means, total number of favorable outcomes = 1

Therefore, the probability that you are correct by making a random guess

= favorable outcomes/total number of outcomes

= 1/5

Hence, the probability that you are correct by making a random guess is 1/5.
