Please please HELP me with this question!?

A hockey goaltender has a save percentage of 0.920. This means that the probability of any single shot taken on the goaltender being a goal is 0.08. What would be the expected number of goals scored on this goaltender in a game where she faced 35 shots?

0.08 x 35 = 2.8 rounding to 3 goals

All you need to do is take the number of goals per shot (0.08) and multiply by the number of shots (35) to get 2.8 goals.
