You are writing a multiple choice test and on one question you guess and pick an answer at random. If there are five possible choices $(A, B, C, D, E)$, what is the probability that you guessed correctly?
(A) $\frac{1}{5}$
(B) $\frac{5}{5}$
(C) $\frac{4}{5}$
(D) $\frac{2}{5}$
(E) $\frac{3}{5}$
Since you randomly choose one of the five answers, then each has an equally likely chance of being selected.

Thus, the probability that you select the one correct answer from the five is $\frac{1}{5}$.

ANSWER: (A)
