Answer 2

## Step 1: Probability of guessing exactly k questions correctly### We use the binomial probability formula:

, where

is the number of trials,

is the number of successes, and

is the probability of success on a single trial. In this case,

and

.## Step 2: Calculate a) P(X=5)###

## Step 3: Calculate b) P(X=7)###

## Step 4: Calculate c) P(X4)###

## Step 19: Calculate 10c) P(X<4)###
