1. **Problem 1: Calculate the mean height of all 50 members of the basketball club.**
2. We have two groups:
- Juniors: 30 members, mean height 1.6 m
- Seniors: 20 members, mean height 2.05 m
3. The formula for the combined mean height is:
$$\text{Mean height} = \frac{(\text{number}_1 \times \text{mean}_1) + (\text{number}_2 \times \text{mean}_2)}{\text{total number}}$$
4. Substitute the values:
$$\text{Mean height} = \frac{(30 \times 1.6) + (20 \times 2.05)}{30 + 20}$$
5. Calculate the numerator:
$$30 \times 1.6 = 48$$
$$20 \times 2.05 = 41$$
So,
$$\text{Mean height} = \frac{48 + 41}{50} = \frac{89}{50}$$
6. Simplify the fraction:
$$\frac{89}{50} = 1.78$$
7. **Answer:** The mean height of all 50 members is **1.78 m**.

1. **Problem 2: Calculate the cost of a phone screen given the tablet screen area and cost per square metre.**
2. Given:
- Tablet screen area = 420 cm²
- Tablet height = 15 cm
- Phone height = 6 cm
- Cost per square metre = 7000
3. First, find the scale factor for the areas based on heights, assuming similar rectangles:
$$\text{Scale factor for height} = \frac{6}{15} = \frac{2}{5}$$
4. Area scales with the square of the scale factor:
$$\text{Scale factor for area} = \left(\frac{2}{5}\right)^2 = \frac{4}{25}$$
5. Calculate the phone screen area:
$$\text{Phone area} = 420 \times \frac{4}{25} = \frac{1680}{25} = 67.2 \text{ cm}^2$$
6. Convert phone area from cm² to m²:
$$67.2 \text{ cm}^2 = 67.2 \times 10^{-4} = 0.00672 \text{ m}^2$$
7. Calculate the cost:
$$\text{Cost} = 0.00672 \times 7000 = 47.04$$
8. **Answer:** The cost of the phone screen is **47.04** (currency units).
