The height, in inches, of six randomly selected girls form the school's basketball team were recorded as {64, 67, 65, 71, 73, 69}. Calculate the sample mean height to the nearest inch. (1 point) Responses 73 73 68 68 69 69 65

1 answer

To calculate the sample mean height, you sum all the heights and then divide by the number of girls.

The heights are: 64, 67, 65, 71, 73, and 69.

  1. First, sum the heights: \[ 64 + 67 + 65 + 71 + 73 + 69 = 409 \]

  2. Next, divide by the number of girls (which is 6): \[ \text{Mean} = \frac{409}{6} \approx 68.17 \]

To round to the nearest inch, the mean height is approximately 68 inches.

So, the answer is 68.
