Answer:

[tex]0.0197277[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the random variable X 

Where X denotes the number of (success/having a correct answer)

in 10 identical and independent trials .

then

X follows the Binomial distribution with parameters 

10 and  p = p(success) = 1/4

[tex]p\left( X\geq 6\right) =\sum^{10}_{k=6} p\left( X=k\right)[/tex]

               [tex]=\sum^{10}_{k=6} C^{k}_{10}\left( \frac{1}{4} \right)^{k} \left( \frac{3}{4} \right)^{10-k}[/tex]

               [tex]=\frac{20686}{2^{20}} \\= 0.0197277[/tex]
