Hi

 P = .2,  N = 10

Using TI Calculator for cumulative probabilities

a. Find the probability he will answer all ten questions correctly.(.2)^10

 b. Find the probability he will answer five or more correctly 1 - binomcdf(10,.2,4) = .0328

 c. Find probability that the will answer none correctly. (.8)^10

 d. Find probability that he will answer at least three questions correctly.

   1 - binomcdf(10,.2, 2)  =  .3222
