5C2 or 10 are the number of ways 2 can be selected.
multiply by 0.2^2*0.8^3=0.2048
------------
none is 0.8^5=0.3277
-------------------
3 or more will contact
1 will is 5*0.2*0.8^4=0.4096 (the expected value)
0,1,2 add to 0.93=421, so 3,4,5 are 0.0579.
Can check by
3: 10*0.2^3*0.8^2=0.0512
4:5*0.2^4*0.8=0.0064
5:0.2^5=0.0003
add to 0.0579
