the probability of answering any single question correctly by chance is 1/4.

This is the p of a binomial distribution for the number of correctly answered questions.

Pr[correctly answering k questions out of 30] = 0

just replace p with 0.25 in the formula above.

30Cn * 0.25 n * 0.75 30-n

where n is the number of correct guesses.

That is exactly what Rom said only he gave the explanation
