Statistic's question

Zero chance...there is no correct answer up there. If 25% had been there one time, that would be the correct answer, but putting it there twice blows that.

B because you have a 2 choices that would be right if you randomly guessed therefore you have a 50 % chance to choose 25% which would be the right answer so therefore a 50% chance to guess write.

ff, you are incorrect. You only have a 50% chance of guessing correctly if 25% is in fact the correct answer. But it could be either of the other two as well. The correct answer is not one of the choices.

Since there are two 25%s the chance of choosing that would be 50% and there is only one 50% so the chance of choosing that, should it be the right answer, is 25%. Thus neither is correct. So if you choose an answers at random, the chance of choosing the right one is 0%. Sooner70 could have explained it better, but he is correct. Pretty tricky huh?

the real question is, do you feel more like you do now than you did before?
