Answer

$20$

Work Step by Step

In the previous section, we have calculated that the probability of detection by the probe is $0.02$ Now, if If we insert the probe as described $1000$ times, the probability of detection will be $p(x)=1000\times0.02=20$ Thus, the number of times we expect the electron to materialize on the end of the probe, is $20$
