    The best prediction for the number of questions that Amit will answer correctly is 5.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Each question can be considered as an independent Bernoulli trial. This implies that we have 20 independent trials.

    Now, the probability of making a correct guess on each question is;

    1/4. This is because we have 4 choices per question and only 1 is correct.

    If we now let the random variable X denote the number of questions that Amit will answer correctly, then X is a Binomial random variable with parameters;

    20 and 1/4.

    The expected number of correct answers is simply the product of these two values;

    20 * (1/4) = 5

    Therefore, the best prediction for the number of questions that Amit will answer correctly is 5
