A quick quiz consists of a multiple-choice question with 5 possible answers followed by a multiple-choice question with 5 possible answers. If both questions are answered with random guesses, find the probability that both responses are correct.
Report the answer as a percent rounded to two decimal place accuracy.
Use "Votes for Women Broadside," Women's Political Union, New York, 28 January 1911 to answer the question.
Which of the following best summarizes the progressive argument being presented in the broadside? Explain
A. Education is the only solution that will allow women to get the vote with dignity and respect.
B. The treatment of women who want to vote has been so cruel that it should be outlawed.
C. Women must fight against representatives of the law in order to exercise their right to vote.
D. Men who have broken the law can vote, but even the most educated woman cannot.
D. Men who have broken the law can vote, but even the most educated woman cannot.
The broadside presents the argument that even though men who have broken the law are still allowed to vote, educated women who have not broken any laws cannot exercise their right to vote. This highlights the inequality and injustice of the system, and advocates for the granting of suffrage rights to women.
Use the "Shocked at Corruption".engraving from Harper's Weekly, October 20, 1900 to answer the question.
In the image, who is most likely depicted sitting in front of the money vault? Explain
A. the mayor of the city
B. the governor of the state
C. the president of a local bank
D. the boss of a local political machine
D. The boss of a local political machine is most likely depicted sitting in front of the money vault in "Shocked at Corruption" engraving from Harper's Weekly, October 20, 1900.
The engraving depicts a group of men, likely politicians and businessmen, standing in shock and disgust in front of an open money vault. The man sitting in front of the vault is shown to be holding a key and wearing a hat that resembles those typically worn by political bosses of the time. This suggests that he is the leader of a local political machine and is responsible for the corruption and bribery that has taken place.
To find the probability that both responses are correct, we need to determine the probability of guessing the correct answer for each question and then multiply the two probabilities together.
Since there are 5 possible answers for each question, the probability of guessing the correct answer for each question is 1/5, or 0.2.
To find the probability of both responses being correct, we multiply the probabilities together:
Probability = (0.2) × (0.2) = 0.04
To convert this probability to a percentage, we multiply by 100:
Probability (as a percentage) = 0.04 × 100 = 4%
Therefore, the probability that both responses are correct is 4%, rounded to two decimal places.
