its easier to find the complement of that instead
so you find the probability of 1 and 0
The .2 in the answer is the probability of each question 1/5
(10 C 0) x .2^0 (1-.2)^10-0=.1074
(10 C 1) x .2^1 (1-.2)^10-1=.2684
.2684+.1074=.3758 and that's the complement
so 1 - .3758= .6242
I too have a stats exam on this tomorrow lol
