The probability of a certain hockey player making a goal after hitting a slap shot is 1/5 how many successful slap shots would you expect her to make after 120 attempts.

Answer 1

To find the expected number of successful slap shots, we simply multiply the probability of success (1/5) by the number of attempts (120):

Expected number of successful slap shots = (1/5) x 120 = 24

Therefore, we would expect the hockey player to make 24 successful slap shots out of 120 attempts.
