contemporary video games. Among the many things entailed by being in this clan, these streamers often go to e-sports (competitive gaming) competitions aiming to
win fame, glory, and huge prizes. Here's the thing: The hottest new battle royale shooter just released last month, and a popular gaming convention has announced
that they'll be hosting a competition with it. This competition has a huge entry fee, but huge reward payouts, and the whole world will be watching. While everyone

data at the end of the month, and determined that your clan members have an average monthly win-rate (percentage of games won) of 0.18 with a standard deviation
of 0.04. You then go to the website for the game's publisher company, and they report that the average global win-rate for
even know what a standard deviation is, so they didn't include that.
