The messed up question I was referring to, and I think bloaf was referring to, is a later one, the second one involving random answers:
> Assuming that every question in this 20-question test has only 1 right answer and you choose to guess the answer of each question randomly, then in terms of the number of correctly-guessed answers, approximately 68% of them will fall between:
> A. 2.2 and 5.8
> B. 0.8 and 7.2
> C. 6.8 and 12.5
> D. 7 and 13
> E. None of the above
Another messed up question was the one early on asking whether the dot product operator is "associative/commutative on addition" or not. That's not a thing that actually means something.
- tromp 6y agoI answered none of the above precisely because associativity doesn't apply to an operator that maps 2 vectors to a scalar. But it still felt wrong.
- SamReidHughes 6y agoOh, I was parsing the responses like "(Non-associative, commutative and distributive) on addition". And no, the dot product is not commutative on addition. But it's meant to be "Non-associative, commutative and (distributive on addition)".
