Question

There are 5 players in a basketball team. The height of each player is given below.

$\begin{array}{cc}\text{1st player}& \text{200 cm}\\ \text{2nd player}& \text{180 cm}\\ \text{3rd player}& \text{185 cm}\\ \text{4th player}& \text{190 cm}\\ \text{5th player}& \text{195 cm}\end{array}$

Find the average height of the team.

• A. 190

Answer 1

The correct option is A 190

Sum of the heights $=200+180+185+190+195=950$

Average height of team = $\frac{\text{Sum of all the observations}}{\text{Number of observations}}$ = $\frac{950}{5}$ = $190cm$
