The probability of guessing the correct answer to a certain test questions is x/12 . If the probability of not guessing the correct answer to this question is 2/3, then x =

Probability of guessing the correct answer is = P (E) = x/12

Probability of guessing the incorrect answer is = P (not E) = 2/3


P (E) + P (not E) = 1


x/12 + 2/3 = 1


x+8 = 12


x = 4
