Which should have been a clue to you that your assumption that "there is
just as much reason to assume that the number of correct guesses is 30%" was
dead wrong, which it is.

Do you know why you didn't properly define the problem? You're incapable of
understanding the problem.
Your "answer" is dead wrong. There cannot be two values for 'x', which is
why ".25xz = .30" is NOT correct.
Oh, I know, it's so "sexist" to point out how stupid you are, right? But if
you persist in this STUPID assertion even 3 times after it's been
demonatrated to you that you're wrong, then STUPID is a mild word.
