Question

NBA Players have an average height of 2.06 meters with a standard deviation of 0.08 meters. How does that influence the scoring capacity of those players? Do you think that as height increases, scoring increase?

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. The NBA players should be of an average height of 2.06 meters because the net is at a height of 3.05 meters from the court floor. So the greater the height, the closer the player is to the net and the greater his/her chance to score. If a player is short, netting balls could be a challenge because of the height of the net from the court floor. Therefore, the height of a player increases the chances of scoring.

2. With the knowledge and required skills in basketball, as the height of a player increases, the scoring chances increases. The height of a player is not an absolute determinant to netting of balls, but it increases the probability. This is because scoring is easier to achieve by tall players compared to short ones.
