She wants to answer any 3 of 7 questions correctly......  = C(7,3)

 

Each question has  25% probability of being answered correctly and a 75% probability of an incorrect answer.....so......we have.....

 

C(7,3) * (.25)^3 * (.75)^4  = about .173  = about 17.3% chance of answering any three correctly
