The winner of the 2012-2013 National Basketball Association (NBA) championship was the Miami Heat. One possible starting lineup for that team is as follows.

a. Determine the population mean height, , of the five players:
b. Consider samples of size without replacement. Use your answer to Exercise on page and Definition on page to find the mean, , of the variable .
c. Find using only the result of part (a).
7.51 Earthquakes. According to The Earth: Structure, Composition and Evolution (The Open University, S237), for earthquakes with a magnitude of or greater on the Richter scale, the time between successive earthquakes has a mean of days and a standard deviation of days. Suppose that you observe a sample of four times between successive earthquakes that have a magnitude of or greater on the Richter scale.
a. On average, what would you expect to be the mean of the four times?
b. How much variation would you expect from your answer in part (a)? (Hint: Use the three-standard-deviations rule.)
