Probability = number of positive outcomes / number of total outcomes.

The number of total outcomes is 2 *2 *2 * 2* 2 = 32.

The positive outcomes are those where there are only two winners:

1)  w w _ _ _
2)  w _ w _ _
3)  w _ _ w _
4)  w _ _ _ w
5)  _ w w _ _
6)  _ w _ w _
7)  _ w _ _ w
8)  _ _ w w _
9)  _ _ w _ w
10) _ _ _ w w

Those are 10 outcomes where there are two w (winners).

Therefore, the probabilit is: 10 / 32 = 5 / 16

As percet that is: (5/16)*100 = 31.25%.

Answer: 5/16 or, equivalently, 31.25%

The probability that exactly 2 out of the 5 contestants win a price during the week is given by:

P(X=2)={ ^5C_2\cdot\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2\cdot\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^3 \\  \\ =\frac{10}{32}=\frac{5}{16}

This is equivalent to 31.25%.
