If the hockey team won 8 out of 14 games, the win rate can be calculated as 8/14 = 4/7.
To find out how many games they should expect to win out of 84, we can set up a proportion:
(4/7) = x/84
Cross multiplying:
7x = 4*84
7x = 336
x = 336/7
x = 48
Therefore, the hockey team should expect to win approximately 48 games out of 84 at the same rate they won their first 14 games.
