Food for thought - A, B, C, or D?

It's the same as if this was a Roulette wheel or Carnival Spinning wheel with 4 numbers and two the same

lol, that's not proper logic since 25% is on there twice and if it were to be at random, the correct answer is 0%

Then your saying the answer 50% is correct, because the answer 25% is correct as is the other answer 25%. Therefore you're saying 3/4 answers are correct.

- my source is me, I scored 106% in college statistics, lol. The only class I ever got more than 100% in.

But you don't have a 50% chance of picking B, you only have a 25% chance.

So therefore there is no solution.

But you're picking them at random, which has nothing to do with what the actual answers are.

My thoughts is that the answer is B. It just wants to know what the percentage is that you'll get the correct answer. If two answers are the same, that means only two remains, and your chance is 50%

[cyborgtable]

The probability of choosing a correct solution from 4 is 25%. as there are 2 solutions of 25% the probability becomes 50% for this particullar problem.

uh the guy implied 25% was the correct answer. and 25% is on there twice therefore he thought the answer should be 50% ----25% is on there twice which would make the answer 50%. but then your stating 3/4 answers is correct which is incorrect. There is no solution...as far as I can see

The way I interpreted this hellish question is that your selection (a,b,c, or d) has to match up with the answer (25%, etc.).

No?

If so, there is no freaking correct answer to this abomination of a freaking question.

Did your classmates call you "blow job face" for getting that extra credit?

This is asking a question, not asking to pick the answer at random. Think of it this way, if you were taking a multiple choice history test and 2 of the solutions were the same and correct. If you didn't know and just guessed you would have a 50% chance of answering the question correct. This is the same thing

[-King-]

A is 25%, if you divide that by C's 60% you get 42%. 42% divided by B's 50% is 84%.

84% on a standard grading scale is a B. So you divide 84% by B's 50% again and get 168%.

But we can't forget 25% for D. 168% x 25% = 42%.

So yeah, trick question. The right answer is 42 which is none of the above.

This is more of a paradox
