C. Over the course of many games, one would expect the mean number of hits per game to be the mean of the random variable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mean is the ratio of sum of observations to the total number of observation.

It represent the whole data. Thus, Mean of hits per game is the mean of those hits of game. Thus, option C is correct.

mean is based on all the observation not few or most. Thus Option A is incorrect.

Observations are different from mean, So hits per game can be different from the mean of hits of game. Thus, Option B is incorrect.

The Mean of hits per game can be less and more from half of the observation. It is totally depends on the value of the observations. Thus, We can't chose option D as correct.
