Question 670098: Math is not my strong suit and I am stuck on this question.
Type of missile will hit a target 65% of the time. What is the mean number of times that the missile will hit the target in 40 independent and identical trials?
I believe you divide 40 by .65 which would equal 64.51 but I want to make sure this is correct. Thank you
