The probability that the San Jose Sharks will win any given game is 0.3694 based on a 13-year win history of 382 wins out of 1,034 games played (as of a certain date). An upcoming monthly schedule contains 12 games. What is the expected number of wins for the that upcoming month? Let X = number of games won in November 2005. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

Given :The probability that the San Jose Sharks will win any given game is 0.3694 based on a 13-year win history of 382 wins out of 1,034 games played

To Find : What is the expected number of wins for the that upcoming month?

Solution :

The probability that the San Jose Sharks will win is 0.3694

Let X = number of games won

Total no. of games = 12

We are supposed to find the expected number of wins for the that upcoming month

So, expected number of wins = E(X)=XP(X)=[tex]12 \times 0.3694 =4.43 [/tex]

Hence the expected number of wins for the that upcoming month is 4.43
