Answer 2

The mean height is 69 inches.

Explanation:

The mean or Average is a measure of the center data i.e Sum of all the observation and dividing by the total number of observation.

Here, sum of observation is equal to the sum of the heights of the players in the basketball team.

Total number of observation =10

Sum of observation=70+68+72+66+68+69+66+71+74+66=690 inches.

`MeanHeight=(Sum of observation)/(Total number of observation)`

`Mean Height=`
`(690)/(10)=69 inches`

Therefore,the Mean Height is, 69 inches
