Why the answer is different: Because 1.C asks what are expectations are, and 1.B asks what the state of the class is

For b) and c), the questions were supposed to be the same - my bad, I have edited it. Please edit your answer accordingly.

Not all of your answers were correct (unsurprisingly, because I find some of the questions extremely hard - even I couldn't answer them at first :D). I'll wait for a few more replies and then I'll post the correct answers plus explanations.

Oddly, my answers remained the same, but for different reasons. Also, I changed my answer to 1.D, and would recommend you change the wording to "Expected average" wherever you merely refer to the average.
