A problem on a multiple-choice quiz is answered correctly with probability 0.95 if a student is prepared. An unprepared student guesses between 5 possible answers, so the probability of choosing the right answer is 1/5. Seventy-five percent of students prepare for the quiz. If Mr. X gives a correct answer to this problem, what is the chance that he did not prepare for the quiz?
