Question

The table shows the heights in a basketball team.

Height: 198, 199, 200, 201, 202

a.) Work out the mean height of the team. Round you answer to 1d. p.

That, I have worked out is 200.3

b.) A new player joins the team and raises the mean average height to 201cm. Work out the height of the new player.

Answer:

206 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the fiven numbers, 198+199+200+201+202=1000

For a mean of 201, the product should be 201*6=1206

The difference of the two is equivalent to the height of the other person hence 1206-1000=206 cm

Therefore, the height is 206 cm
