The Bonferroni Correction is used to adjust the significance level for multiple hypothesis tests to control the overall significance level. In this case, we have five hypothesis tests, so we need to divide the overall significance level of 0.05 by the number of tests to get the significance level for each test: 0.05 / 5 = 0.01. However, the Bonferroni Correction is conservative, so we need to round down to the nearest thousandth, which gives us 0.005.
