A coach compared the heights of the players on two different teams. The data set is shown in the table below. HEIGHTS OF PLAYERS ON TWO TEAMS. Team A Player Heights (inches) 76, 68, 73, 65, 60, 63, 69, 76. Team B Player Heights (inches) 63, 73, 64, 70, 70, 67, 75, 62. Based on these data, which statement is true?
help idk either, its due tonight
Can you please provide more information on what you need help with?
To determine which statement is true based on the given data, we need to compare the heights of players on Team A and Team B.
First, let's calculate the average height for each team. To do this, we add up all the heights in each data set and divide by the number of players in the team.
For Team A: (76 + 68 + 73 + 65 + 60 + 63 + 69 + 76) / 8 = 610 / 8 = 76.25 inches
For Team B: (63 + 73 + 64 + 70 + 70 + 67 + 75 + 62) / 8 = 524 / 8 = 65.5 inches
So, the average height for Team A is 76.25 inches and for Team B is 65.5 inches.
Now, let's compare these average heights to determine which statement is true:
Statement 1: The average height of players on Team A is greater than the average height of players on Team B.
This statement is true because 76.25 inches (Team A) is greater than 65.5 inches (Team B).
Therefore, the correct statement is: The average height of players on Team A is greater than the average height of players on Team B.
To compare the heights of the players on two different teams, we can calculate the mean (average) height for each team and compare them.
The mean height for Team A is:
(76 + 68 + 73 + 65 + 60 + 63 + 69 + 76) / 8 = 68.5 inches
The mean height for Team B is:
(63 + 73 + 64 + 70 + 70 + 67 + 75 + 62) / 8 = 68.5 inches
Both teams have the same mean height of 68.5 inches. Therefore, the statement that is true is:
The mean height of the players on Team A is the same as the mean height of the players on Team B.
