6.25% of randomly answering the question correctly.

>>675472313
F 33.333333%

>>675472749
But now you have 5 choices.

also retards it's 33.333...% chance because A and D are the same so no answer is correct
kys op

>>675472700
Your dubs dont lie

>>675472891
no because 33.3333% isn't a choice smartass

The answer is 25, but since there are two 25s, the answer would be 50. So really there are 3 right answers, meaning that there is a 75% chance you get it right. There is no 75 option. What a stupid fucking question

Obv 15.6%

>>675472969
I agree with you sir/madam

0% because there is no right answer

You guys are all fucking retarted, It´s obviously 50% Either you guess the right answer or you guess the wrong answer. You dumb shits...

>>675473596
why does your air comma look weird?

0% chances of picking the correct answer randomly.

Cause I used ´ instead of '

I fucking hate this board of retards I came here to fap and now I have to explain this simple shit to you all

First of all the question doesn't explicitly tell you to choose an option, it just >implies that if you were to choose one of the options A, B, C, or D, what would be the chance of you being correct? (Just ignore the percentages the options give, they're to distract idiots like you)

So since two options are exactly the same, that just leaves 3 options so its 33.3333...%

fuck you /b/

>>675472313
The answer is 50% chance that it woudl be correct. Here's the funny part, the answer is not A B C D, it's 50%, people don't understand that the question is NOT multiple choice, the hypothetical question is.

If it the answer is 25%, then the chance we are correct is 50%
If the answer is either 50% or 0%, then the chance we are correct is 25%
Since there is only 3 outcomes due to this,
we have a 1/3 chance of picking the correct answer.

The answer doesn't exist. You have a 25% chance to get the correct answer when you guess the first time, however there are 2 answers for 25% which makes the answer 50% since there are 2/4 correct choices. But then there is only one solution for 50%, making the answer 25%. And on and on. It's a paradox.

>>675472313
The right answer is not listed.

>>675474237
not a paradox, the answer we are giving is not one of the 4 answers listed, read the question

>>675472313
If it's just a matter of A, B, C, or D, then the correct answer is 25%, doesn't matter which answer you actually pick.

>>675474131
lolno is c vladmir

>>675472313
Human is not able to really be random

the answer is A or D cause im too lazy to type out that you've got a 25% chance of being correct if a random answer is chosen

You pick a random answer, 3 options are possible:

1) You picked A or D, which is 25%. Since the chance of picking A or D is 50%, the answer would be wrong, so you have here a 50% chances of being wrong.

2) You picked B, which is 50%. The chances of this happening are 25%, so it is wrong too. You now have a 75% chances of being wrong (probability of A plus probability of B plus probability of D).

3) You picked C, which is 0%. Since the probability of picking C is 25%, this answer would be wrong too, so you add another 25% probability of being wrong.

At the end, you have a 100% chances of being wrong, and of course, 0% chances of being correct.

>>675472313
This is like asking "Is the answer to this question 'No.'?" There is no correct answer.

>hurr durr then that means it's C

No. A, B, C, and D are all incorrect answers to the question.

>>675472313
It's always 50%

Either you will be right, or you won't.

>>675474982
There is a correct answer.

>>675474982
it's not a multiple choice, your answer can be whatever

This is b8.

>>675472960
Then it's not a valid answer.

Not only does it say that, but there is no evidence to suggest that the %s are not linked to the letters above them. In fact, one could easily argue that there is an established history that numerical or alphabetical choses closely followed by what could be considered elaborations to the choice are so common it would be wrong not to imply a relationship.

0 percent, because in order to choose randomly i have to be unsure of the answer but since the choices are at least 4. i have a 25 Percent chance of choosing one. but unfortunately i wouldn't be choosing the 25 percent chance at random since i just solved for 25 percent.
therefore its zero but since i didn't randomly select that one other, that is wrong too.

Sometimes /b/ is good.

The question is incoherent, but for some very specific reasons. Let me explain.

We'll start with the observation that some versions of this question are coherent. Suppose the options were:
>A. 25%, B. 50%, C. 75%, D. 100%
The answer is then obviously A, 25%.

But if this question is so easy, why is OP's so hard? After all:
>Isn't it the same question?

And that's the rub: it isn't the same question. The answers given in the multiple choices themselves form part of the question. Meaning that the coherency of the question can alter over varying choice sets.

It's easy to prove this. Consider this question:
>"If you answer this question at random, what is the percentage chance of you being right?"
There isn't an answer to this question, because there's no meaningful content to it. If I didn't answer at random, I still couldn't tell you - nor could anyone, not even an omniscient being - the correct answer.

Q.E.D.

The distribution of my guesses, the set of all possible guesses, as well as what counts as correct is ill-defined.
Therefore the question is unsolvable with the data provided.
If that wasn't enough, the ZFC axioms state that my answer can not be influenced by my set of possible answers as that would be equivalent to a set including itself. That is not possible in a consistent axiomatic system: in other words, it creates paradoxes. This, of course, is plainly obvious by now.

fucking kek

>>675472313
Let's make it simple, if you have 1/2 of chance to choose 100%, you have 1/2*1/1 chance of being right, same goes for any other chance.
So:
A is 1/4 chance to choose 1/4, which results in 1/16;
B is 1/4 chance to choose 1/2, which results in 1/8;
C is 0, don't even ask why;
D is the same as A;
Now, assuming that it's fully random, we have to sum up all the results and split in 4:
1/2⁴ + 2*1/2³ + 0
1/2⁴ + 1/2²
5/2⁴
5/2⁴/2²
5/(2⁴*2²)
5/2^6 of chance, which is approximately 8%.

>>675472313
All of them are contradictions to each other.
If you guess 25% you're wrong because 2 answers are 25% therefore your chance of getting it right goes to 50%.
If you guess 50% you're wrong because that's only a 1/4 chance you get the 50%.
If you guess 0% you're also wrong because 0% is technically the right answer since none of the answers are right, therefore the chance you get the question right is not 0%, it goes back to 25% at random.

Making this algebric and isolating the question from the Paradigm, it would be still be 25%, imagine A as x, B as y, C as z and D as x. P.S.: x has 50% of chance of being right.
The bait is that after answering you go check and see, hey, it's B, but if it's B, it's 25%, which is A and D, but if are both, it's 50%, which is B...
But guess what, you chose randomly the answer, so you didn't consider any logic behind it, if it's X, damn, you got it right, but guess what, you still have 50% of chance to get it wrong.
Conclusion: It's 25% and if you chose A or D, you have ⅓ chance to have 50% of chance.
Final conclusion, the one who made this problem was autistic

If you can say any percentage, then the answer is 33,(3)% but if you got to chose from 25%, 50% or 0% then none is right mathematically.

If you can give an answer from a philosophical point of view, if you picked an answer randomly and got it right, you wouldn't be "correct", you would be considered "lucky" at most.

>>675481747
i dont understand shit

>>675472313
50% is the chance you will be correct assuming that 25% (both A and D) are correct. 25% is the chance that you will be correct assuming 50% (B) is correct. 25% is the chance you will be correct if 0% (C) is the correct answer.

Photosynthesis

The answer is not C (which would be 0%), but 0%.

There is no correct answer, as each answer rules itself out. So the chance of choosing the right answer is 0%.

C, since the proper probability you will choose the correct letter is actually 33.3 repeating percent.

You can randomly pick a correct answer and there is an answer present in the given choices.

All you have to do is not be autistic and realise that 0% is not a valid answer, so that puts it out of the question. It remains A:25% B:50% D:25%, there are 2 possible outcomes, so obviously the answer is 50%.

You have a 50% chance of getting the correct answer. The correct answer is 25%

>>675494539
this, 0% can't the the correct answer since it suggests that all answers are wrong, including itself, so 0% is 100% wrong while the others are 50% right each

i guess since there are only 4 choices i would have a 1 in 4 chance. 25%

>>675494883
>0 can't be correct
> pick it
You win

>>675494883
Basically the question is asking something along the lines of:

"What is 1+1?
a) 3
b) 4
c) 11
d) 0

You should know this"

Asking a question doesnt mean one of the options given is correct.

B

Or if you want to get technical due to process of elimination. Neither as it would be a 33.3333333333% chance

>>675495657
Just because you come up with a completely different question and you give some obvious unrelated answers, it doesn't mean every question in the world is also wrong.

I've googled this question right after I've posted my answer and I've seen this comparasion before but it's a terrible example, it doesn't proof that the first question is wrong, it just proofs that your given question doesn't have a valid answer listed.

So let me explain this for you self claimed geniuses step by step:

You get 4 choices. A) 25% B) 50% C) 0% D) 25%

1. Take out 1 choice because 2 of the letters have the same answers. So 3 possible outcomes.
2. 0% is not right in this case since it's among the possible answers. Therefore only 2 possible outcomes left.
3. 2 possible outcomes left means 50% chance of getting the right answer.


This is the right answer.

>>675472313
the anser is:

probability of choosing correct anser = (number of correct answers) / (total number of answers, here: number of correct + false answers)

thanks for clearing this out faggot, i'm sure nobody else thought to use this system and that everyone that posted percentages in this thread decided to come up with random numbers

It's 50% though. You either pick the correct answer or you pick the incorrect answer. How many options you have is irrelevant, read the question again.

Why are so many people getting this wrong?

>>675474131
2 of them are the same. It being the same answer doesn't magically make them both the same answer you moron. It means there are two of the same answer, therefore there are 4 answers.

Because /b/ is full of imbeciles that try to apply logic that they don't even comprehend without actually looking at simpler terms.

Like when you try to solve a complex math problem but forget to carry the 1

>>675498935
Not really. Let's say there are 100 people living in a town, 99 are niggers and 1 is white. If your bike is stolen then there is 99% chance that a nigger stole it.

>Because /b/ is full of imbeciles

After seeing people do maths for this I don't think that's the case. Just misguided

>Like when you try to solve a complex math problem but forget to carry the 1

Yeah see, just misguided not imbecilic

>>675500172
>Being retarded enough to think everyone who doesn't share your view point is a samefag or bait

thanks for proving my point, I wish we still had IDs

>>675500575
what point retard, that answer is too autistic for someone to actually agree to

>>675498935
But this doesn't work.

Let's actually pick answers at random.

If the correct answer is A or D, which are the same (25%), then it works - you have a 50% change of picking A or D at random.

But if the correct answer is B (50%) or C (0%), then you only get it right 25% of the time.

So, depending on what the right answer is, your probability of picking it at random changes.

>>675472313
50%

>>675500052

No, you're wrong. If there are 100 people, 1 white and 99 niggers, there's 100% chance a nigger stole it.

>>675500172

Yeah nah, not the case bro.

Out of all the replies in this thread why would you think those 2 posts are samefagging?

They don't even make a point. So you do understand how communication works? Why you actually speak? It's to make a point, not just jerk off to the words that you speak/type.

>>675501164
99 whites and 1 nigger, still 100% chance it was a nigger.

>>675499758

>Like when you try to solve a complex math problem but forget to carry the 1

Nigga there is no "complex math problem" where you forget to carry the one....carrying the one is a long addition thing.

Long addition is not a complex math problem unless you are 9.

Read the question mate,

>if you choose an answer at random what is the chance you'll be correct?

The option you choose will either be correct or incorrect.

50%

Jesus, this board is on full autist mode right now.

>>675472969
>The answer is 25
>the answer would be 50
>So really there are 3 right answers
do you see how retarded you are now?

>>675502917
But you'd pick answer B (50%) just 25% of the time at random.

How can that be right?

>>675472313

It's paradoxical.

A & D are wrong because they are the same therefore it isn't 1 in 4, B is wrong because it only populates 1/4 of the board.

The key is that "If C were right, the it would be wrong". This makes it unsolvable.
