Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall mean formula
The mean $\bar{x}$ of a data - set $x_1,x_2,\cdots,x_n$ is given by $\bar{x}=\frac{\sum_{i = 1}^{n}x_i}{n}$, where $n$ is the number of data points. Here $n = 100$.
Step2: Calculate the sum of data points
Sum the 100 given height values: [ \begin{align*} \sum_{i=1}^{100}x_i&=54.0 + 54.2+54.4+\cdots+74.8\ &=6217.1 \end{align*} ]
Step3: Compute the mean
Using the formula $\bar{x}=\frac{\sum_{i = 1}^{n}x_i}{n}$, with $n = 100$ and $\sum_{i=1}^{100}x_i=6217.1$, we get $\bar{x}=\frac{6217.1}{100}=62.171\approx62.2$
Answer:
$62.2$
