Question

In a garden the heights of six sunflowers are 135.0 cm, 162.5 cm, 180.0 cm, 235.0 cm, 185.0 cm, and 167.5 cm. What is the average height of the sunflowers?

Answer 1

Average height of sunflowers is:

177.5 cm

Explanation:

Average is calculated as sum of all observations divided by number of observations

The heights of six sunflowers are 135.0 cm, 162.5 cm, 180.0 cm, 235.0 cm, 185.0 cm, and 167.5 cm.

Average=
`(135+162.5+180+235+185+167.5)/(6)`

Average=
`(1065)/(6)`

Average= 177.5

Hence, Average height of sunflowers is:

177.5 cm

Answer 2

135 + 162.5 + 180 + 235 + 185 + 167.5 = 1065

1065/6 = 177.5

average height is 177.5 cm
