Based on the payoffs and the probabilities given, we can calculate the mean to be 0.8 shots made.

What is the mean?

The mean in this scenario will be a weighted average of the probabilities that a number of shots will be made.

The mean will be:

= ∑ (Number of shots x Probability of number of shots)

= (0 x 0.36) + (1 x 0.48) + (2 x 0.16)

= 0.8 shots

In conclusion, the mean is 0.8 shots.
