Using the combination formula, it is found that there is a 0.1 = 10% probability of randomly choosing the correct pair of answer options
[tex]C_{n,x}[/tex] is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by:
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
In this problem, 2 answers are chosen from a set of 5, hence the total number of options is given by:
[tex]C_{5,2} = \frac{5!}{2!3!} = 10[/tex]
Only one pair is correct, hence the probability of randomly choosing the correct pair of answer options is given by:
p = 1/10 = 0.1 = 10%.
