The probability of getting a correct answer to any single question is one in five or 0.20. Each question is an independent trial. Since the probability is constant for a number of independent trials, use the binomial distribution:

The probability of at least successes in trials is given by:


Plug in the numbers and do the arithmetic. You should get an answer that is smaller than 0.0009.
