The masses of the starting five players of a 2009 NBA playoff team are 90.7 kg, 129,300 g, 9.12 x 107 mg, 1.029 x 1011 μg, and 0.1039 Mg. What is the average mass, in kilograms, of these five basketball players? HINT: The average is the sum of the individual values divided by the number of values.

Expert Solution
Step 1

The given masses of players of a 2009 NBA playoff team are (in terms of player A, B, C, D and E):

Player A=90.7 kg

Player B=129,300 g=129,3001000 kg=129.3 kg  (1g=10-3 kg)

Player C=9.12×107 mg=9.12×107106 kg=91.2 kg  (1 mg=10-6 kg)

Player D=1.029×1011 μg=1.029×1011109 kg=102.9 kg  (1μg=10-9 kg)

Player E=0.1039 Mg=0.1039×1000 kg=103.9 kg  (1 Mg=103 kg)
