To calculate the final average height of the plants, you need to add all the heights together and then divide by the number of plants.

The heights of the plants are: 15 cm, 18 cm, 21 cm, 19 cm, and 20 cm.

  1. Add the heights:
    \( 15 + 18 + 21 + 19 + 20 = 93 \)

  2. Divide by the number of plants (5):
    \( \frac{93}{5} = 18.6 \)

So, the final average height for this group of plants is 18.6 cm.
