Suppose you have 20 tiles with the numbers 1-20. The theoretical probability that a tile chosen at random is a 5 is 1/20. If you pick a tile randomly 20 times, replacing the tile each time, will you get a 5 once? Explain.

Can y'all help me with this? Probability is not my strong suit =/
Thanks! =D

Number of tiles = 20

Theoretical Probability (5) = 1/20

If you picked 20 times:

1/20 x 20 = 1

Answer: There is a probability that you will pick 5 once.
