Use the binomial model:

\(f\left(x=5\right)=C_r^n\times p^x\times \left(1-p\right)^{n-x}=C_5^{10}\times \left(\frac{1}{4}\right)^5\left(1-\frac{1}{4}\right)^{10-5}=0.058\)

The probability of getting exactly five correct answers is 5.8%.

n = 10 (total)
x = 5 correct answers (successes)
p = 1/4 since there is one correct choice in the possible 4
