I don't see where the trouble could be here. Where are you stuck?

You should know how to calculate the standard deviation of the number scored.

So solve for k and then substitute this value of k into the right hand side of the Chebyshev inequality given here: Chebyshev's inequality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
