In a casino, the chance of winning a certain game is 14.5%. If you play the game 20 times, what’s your best estimate for the number of times you would win? Round off your answer to the nearest whole number.

expected number of wins=number of plays times the probability of winning

w=20(14.5/100)

w=20(0.145)

w=2.9

w≈3

So you would expect to win 3 times out of 20 attempts (rounded to the nearest whole number of wins)
