There is a town in Texas where 5% of all the people living there have unlisted phone numbers. If you selected 100 names at random from the town's phone directory,  on average, how many of these people would have unlisted phone numbers?

Zero, if it is a public phone directory, and 5 if it is a classified phone directory.

I know is a "gotcha" but ... people who have unlisted phone numbers may as well also have regular phone numbers and vice-versa
