Explanation:

Let #X# be the number of questions that you answer correctly.

We begin like this so we have defined our variable for the rest of the question

Let #X~B(20, 1/4)#

X is binomially distributed about 20 trials, probability of success is 1/4

#P(X>=10)=1-P(X<=9)#

You can find #P(X<=9)# using your calculator

#P(X>=10)=1-0.9861#

#=0.01386# (4sf)
