Answer:

The mean for the number of matches that they win in the tournament is 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

For each match, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they win, or they do not. The probability of winning a match is independent from other matches. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this problem.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

E(X) = np

The Stomping Elephants volleyball team plays 30 matches in a week-long tournament.

This means that n = 30

On average, they win 4 out of every 6 matches.

This means that p = \frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3}

What is the mean for the number of matches that they win in the tournament?

E(X) = np = 30\frac{2}{3} = 20

The mean for the number of matches that they win in the tournament is 20.
