1.39 1.61 1.6 1.53 1.62 1.61
1.64 1.59 1.62 1.51 1.52 1.6
the mean height of the students is 1.57 meters. what does it imply?
a.) there are more students whose heights are below 1.57 meters
b.) the average height of the students is 1.57 meters.
c.) most of the students have a height of 1.57 meters
d.) half of the students have a height below 1.57 meters and half of them have heights above 1.57 meters.
To determine the correct option, we can analyze the given data. The mean height of the students is calculated as the sum of all the heights divided by the total number of heights.
Sum of heights = 1.39 + 1.61 + 1.6 + 1.53 + 1.62 + 1.61 + 1.64 + 1.59 + 1.62 + 1.51 + 1.52 + 1.6 = 19.45
Total number of heights = 12
Mean height = Sum of heights / Total number of heights = 19.45 / 12 = 1.62 meters (rounded to two decimal places)
Since the calculated mean height is 1.62 meters, which is higher than 1.57 meters, we can conclude that the correct option is:
a.) there are more students whose heights are below 1.57 meters.
