Jack and a failed camping trip with friends

Report a typo

Jack is trying to send an e-mail to his boss while out of town with friends. In the conditions of a weak signal, Jack's work laptop desperately tries to send a letter, and it does this until the next attempt is successful. It is known that the probability of sending an e-mail is 0.050.05, and each new attempt does not depend on the ones already made.

How many attempts "on average" will Jack have to make before the letter reaches the boss?
