1. I think the key words to solving this puzzle are "If," "random." It doesn't tell you to select an answer randomly, it just says "if." Just to restate it more plainly, I am not selecting an answer at random.
2. The probability of choosing the right answer at random for ANY multiple choice question with 4 choices is 1-in-4 or 25%. That is for "any" multiple choice question, not specifically "this" question. Yet this question ask only about this question. This is where the confusion lies.
3. In this question, the probabilities are given as the answers to the question, and two answers are 25% which is the correct probability for any "normally" constructed multiple choice question, giving the probability of selecting the "%25" as the answer for THIS question 2-in-4.
Therefore, if I were to randomly select an answer the probability that I would land on A or D would be %50. Yet since I am NOT randomly selecting the correct answer is B.
Sorry That comment was too sarcastic. I think it's a great positive greeting, I think it's good to be positive in a world where there's not a whole lot of good news, but like the others I don't think it's for government offices, nor do I think it will boost the morale of office workers, when I worked in retail I hated always having to answer to phone in a peppy happy-go-lucky manner all the time. It sounds as though she's been reading to many motivational posters
I think "It's a great day in south carolina where troubles melt like lemon drops, and deer and unicorns frolic in the fields, how can I prostrate myself to humbly be at your service??" sounds MUCH better! *roll-eyes*
Awesome, though there are a few more celebrities and people I wouldn't want to hear from... or just imagine that it could mute certain commercials, while allowing more entertaining ones to pass through.
The original series is my favourite too, but I have a special place for the original scooby-doo movies and a pup named scooby-doo. I've seen a couple of the newer ones starting with "What's new scooby doo?" and I must say they aren't bad. My least favorite series (that I've seen) is the 13 ghosts of scooby doo, after the scrappy shows. Never seen the Movie movie, but maybe I should just cuz'
