Answer:
The average height of team b is 62 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Mean:
The mean of a data-set is the sum of all values in the data-set divided by the number of values, that is:
[tex]M = \frac{s}{n}[/tex]
Sum:
Team a: Mean of 68 inches, 2x members.
Team b: Mean of y inches, x members.
So
[tex]s = 68*2x + yx = x(136 + y)[/tex]
Number of athletes:
[tex]n = 2x + x = 3x[/tex]
What is the average height of team b?
[tex]66 = \frac{x(136+y)}{3x}[/tex]
[tex]66 = \frac{136 + y}{3}[/tex]
[tex]136 + y = 198[/tex]
[tex]y = 198 - 136 = 62[/tex]
The average height of team b is 62 inches.
