The heights of the players from two NBA teams are given in the table. All heights are in inches. a. Find the mean height for the players on the Philadelphia $76 \mathrm{ers}$. b. Find the mean height for the players on the Milwaukee Bucks. c. What is the difference in the mean heights? $$\begin{array}{c|c}\hline \begin{array}{c}\text { Philadelphia 76ers' } \\\text { Height (in.) }\end{array} & \begin{array}{c}\text { Milwaukee Bucks' } \\\text { Height (in.) }\end{array} \\\hline 83 & 70 \\\hline 83 & 83 \\\hline 72 & 82 \\\hline 79 & 72 \\\hline 77 & 82 \\\hline 84 & 85 \\\hline 75 & 75 \\\hline 76 & 75 \\\hline 82 & 78 \\\hline 79 & 77 \\\hline\end{array}$$

Step 1
- Add up all the heights for the Philadelphia 76ers: 83 + 83 + 72 + 79 + 77 + 84 + 75 + 76 + 82 + 79 = 790 - Divide the sum by the number of players (10): 790 / 10 = 79 inches - The mean height for the Philadelphia 76ers is 79 inches. Show more…

The mean height of players in the National Basketball Association is about 79 inches and the standard deviation is 3.5 inches. Assume the distribution of heights is approximately Normal. Draw a sketch. a) Let H = the height of a randomly-selected NBA player. Find and interpret P(H > 84).b) Find the probability that a randomly selected NBA player is between 74 inches and 84 inches.

The heights of five starting players on a basketball team have a mean of 76 inches, a median of 78 inches, and a range of 11 inches. a. If the tallest of these five players is replaced by a substitute who is 2 inches taller, find the new mean, median, and range. b. If the tallest player is replaced by a substitute who is 4 inches shorter, which of the new values (mean, median, range) could you determine, and what would their new values be?
