If the events are independent, the probability of both/all events occurring is determined by multiplying the probabilities of the individual events.
2 correct = .2^2 * .8^4 = ?
1 correct = .2 * .8^5 = ?
3 correct = .2^3 * .8^3 = ?
4 correct = .2^4 * .8^2 = ?
Either-or probabilities are found by adding the individual probabilities, so add the probabilities you have found.
