Fathis Munk posted:Funnily if 0% was an option, it would also be wrong It's because it's not there that it is the correct answer. The question doesn't ask you "which of the following answers is correct", but instead it asks "what is the likelihood of a 'random' draw being correct". You don't have to answer the question with one of the given answers. The fact that you aren't given the odds of the draw (it doesn't say they are uniform odds, for instance) is a big hint. The only odds you can be sure of is that an answer that is not listed can not be drawn, so anything except for a draw of Ruzihm has a new favorite as of 16:07 on Apr 6, 2016 |

Except you're making the same false assumption I made at the start. There is no random drawing. The answer is the one you pick.

Fathis Munk posted:Except you're making the same false assumption I made at the start. Nothing says that the correct answer to the question is one of the options listed. The question is, if you were to choose one of those four options, what is the probability that you're correct? And since all four of them are wrong, the answer is "0%". You are right though, if 0% was listed among those potential guesses then it would no longer be the correct answer. Jabor has a new favorite as of 16:35 on Apr 6, 2016 |

There are 3 possible answers '25%' or '33%' or '50%' . One of them must be correct, else the question is invalid (since then the answer is '0%' and there isn't a choice of that in the possible answers) Pick ABCD at random. There is a 2/4 chance of being right if the answer is '25%' and a 1/4 chance for both '50%' and '33%' so [ (2/4)+(1/5)+(1/5)+(2/4) ]/4 = 37.5%

The question is asking for a description about a hypothetical situation. The situation happens to be "someone is randomly selecting from the following answers to answer this very same question." And in that hypothetical situation, that "someone" happens to be "you". You can tell it's a hypothetical situation because the given description of the situation starts with "If you..." Of course the answer you provide in reality is not random. But it's a mistake to conflate what is hypothetically happening in the question's premise with what actually is happening. You don't need to actually fire a cannon to answer a ballistics question in a physics exam, for instance.

5.4% seems like a pretty significant margin of error when two options are just about that far apart. At first I read it as 54%.

Everyone says that teachers are valuable and underappreciated until it comes time to start talking about education reform or the education budget, at which point the conversation just turns to how lazy and ineffectual teachers are. Even so, anyone who says that a teacher is a more prestigious job than a congressman is lying to themselves.

Pakled posted:Even so, anyone who says that a teacher is a more prestigious job than a congressman is lying to themselves. Far as I can tell, this graph is a depiction of how people rate those respondents. So, of all respondents, people rank teachers as more prestigious than clergymen, soldiers and congressmen, but less prestigious than doctors, scientists and firefighters. I think a better measurement for this would be 'respect', since it seems to have been taken that way and makes more sense.
