Answer: The height of the new player is 210 cm
Step-by-step explanation: The previous mean of the entire team has been calculated as 200.3
What this means is that, we have a summation of the observed data and a summation of the frequency of data.
The mean was calculated as
Sum FX/Sum F = 200.3
Where Sum FX is 2604 and Sum F is 13
However, our calculation should now read thus,
Sum FX/Sum F = 201 {where 201 is the new mean}
By cross multiplication we now have
Sum FX = Sum F x 201
Remember that a new member has joined the team so our Sum F is now 14 and we can now express it as thus
Sum FX = 14 x 201
Sum FX = 2814
If the summation of the observed data after adding a new team member is now 2814, then the addition to the previous observed data would be
2814 - 2604 = 210
So the height of the new member added to the team is 210 cm.
