  4. Suppose you are taking a multiple-choice test where each question has choices a through e. If you get the answer correct, you get 4 points. If you get a wrong answer, you lose 1 point. Find the expected value of a random guess.

  5. Suppose you are taking a multiple-choice test where each question has choices a through e. If you get the answer correct, you get 4 points. If you get a wrong answer, you lose 1 point. Find the expected value of eliminating one answer and guessing among the remaining 4 possible answers.

  6. Suppose you are taking a multiple-choice test where each question has choices a through e. If you get the answer correct, you get 4 points. If you get a wrong answer, you lose 1 point. Find the expected value of eliminating two answers and guessing among the remaining 3 possible answers.

  7. Suppose you are taking a multiple-choice test where each question has choices a through e. If you get the answer correct, you get 4 points. If you get a wrong answer, you lose 1 point. Use decision theory and your previous answers to create a guessing strategy for this multiple-choice test.
