As each question has 5 choices and only one of them is correct, so probability of getting the correct answer for a given question is - p = 1/5.
Let 'X' be the random variable representing the number of multiple-choice questions Klein gets correct. As each question can be guessed correctly independent of others with equal probability of 'p = 1/5 = 0.2' so the distribution of 'X' will be binomial with parameter n = 12 and p = 0.2 given as -
Thus, for n = 12, r = 7 and p = 0.2 we get -
Probability of getting exactly 7 correct answers is -
Thus, the required probability = 0.0033.
