Question

members of the starting basketball team weigh 235,210,215,264,and 200 pounds. what is the average weight of starting team.

Answer 1

Consider that the average of any discrete data is defined as,

`\text{Average}=\frac{\text{ Sum of Observations}}{\text{ Number of Observations}}`

Here the data is the weight (in pounds) of the starting basketball team members,

`235,210,215,264,200`

So the corresponding mean wieght of a team member is calculated as,

`\begin{gathered} \text{Average}=(235+210+215+264+200)/(5) \\ \text{Average}=(1124)/(5) \\ \text{Average}=224.8 \end{gathered}`

Thus, the average weight of starting team member is 224.8 pounds.
