It is easy problem, and its solution is shorter than its formulation.
45% do believe - hence, 100% - 45% = 55% do not believe (we do not count those who has no their own opinion or fluctuate).
55% of 200 adults is 0.55*200 = 110 adults.
ANSWER. The expected value of X is 110.
Solved, answered and explained.
