Given the question:

\"Researchers found that 25% of the beech trees in east centralEurope had been damaged by fungi. Consider a sample of 20 beechtrees from this area.

How many of the sampled trees would you expect to be damaged byfungi?\"

I was asked, \"The question as asked is misleading, why?Nevertheless, give a numerical answer.\"

I don't see how this question is misleading. All I can think ofit asking for is expected value, which would be µ = (0.25)(20) = 5.So my question is not what the expected value is, my question ishow is the question misleading, what am I missing here?
