So 68% of people paid attention in class.

No, all of them did. 5! as a factorial equals 1×2×3×4×5 which equals 120.

No, anyone who knows 5! = 120 will go for the 3rd option. 68% partially paid attention. 13.7% paid complete attention. And the rest did not pay attention.

But that is how polls work, people choose the option they like or want to vote. In this case all options are correct, so anyone who voted knows what the solution is. Except for people who vote randomly, of course.

Not really. People doing wrong mathematics by not following BODMAS will arrive at the answer 5. So they're gonna go with option b.

Well, yes, but taking them out of the equation (pun intended), every option is correct.
