Question
**Multiple-choice questions each have 3 possible answers, one of which is correct. Assume that you guess the answers to 5 such questions.**

Use the multiplication rule to find the probability that the first four guesses are wrong and the fifth is correct. That is, find \( P(WWWWC) \), where C denotes a correct answer and W denotes a wrong answer.

*(round answer to 4 decimal places)*

\[ P(WWWWC) = \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \]

What is the probability of getting exactly one correct answer when 5 guesses are made?

*(round answer to 4 decimal places)*

\[ P(\text{exactly one correct answer}) = \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ \]
