Q: Is this a binomial distribution question?
A: Yes, this is a binomial distribution question!
Let X be the number of questions the student answered correctly. Then X follows a binomial distribution with n=10, p=0.25 (Since the probability s/he guessed it correctly is 1/4=0.25).
So,
(1) the probability the student will answer exactly 6 questions correctly is
P(X=6)=C(10, ...
