Heller says he should have been killed 3 times

From the article: "Heller flew 60 bombing missions from May to October in 1944. Heller mentions that he should have been killed three times over, since the average death rate was 5% per mission. "

While at first, this seems to be a correct statement, he actually had a probability of being killed of only 95% in 60 missions, if 5% is the correct death rat. Should this be mentioned? 77.10.69.142 (talk) 20:13, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

How do you reach that figure? benzband (talk) 22:32, 25 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

To figure out the probability there, you simply multiply 0.95 (95% survival chance) by 0.95 sixty times. Theoretically, this gives you the probability that a given event (in this case, survival), with a 95% chance of occurring, would happen sixty times in a row.
