Question

The heights, in inches, of five players on a basketball

team are 68, 70, 76, 71, and 70. What is the mean
height, in inches, of these players?
A)76

B)72

C)71

D)70

Answer 1

C) 71

Explanation:

To find the mean you must first add all the numbers:

68 + 70 + 76 + 71 + 70 = 355.

After that you divide the number you got by how many numbers are in the set.

There are five players so we divide the number by 5

355/5 = 71

Therefore, it is 71.
