Description This program requires a bit of explaining: When taking a test like the SAT, ACT or SAT II partial credit is deducted for wrong answers and no credit is given for blank answers. However, if you can eliminate some of the obviously wrong answers, then you can use the Expected Value Theorem of statistics to determine your chances of gaining points by guessing the right answer. Thus, if you are taking such a test and you find that you come across a problem to which you just don't know the answer, you can eliminate the blatently-wrong choices and then use this program to randomly select one of the remaining choices (provided that calculators are allowed on the test). Program returns a random value for the answer you should select along with a probability of you gaining points on the test.
