Solution :
Probability of guessing a correct answer, p = \(1\over 3\)
and probability of guessing a wrong answer, q = \(2\over 3\)
So, the probability of guessing 4 or more correct answers is
= \(^5C_4\) \(({1\over 3})^4\). \(2\over 3\) + \(^5C_5\) \(({1\over 3})^5\)
= \(5.2\over {3^5}\) + \(1\over {3^5}\) = \(11\over {3^5}\)
