After interpreting the results, Gary determined the average height of a high-school-aged boy to be 6 feet, 1 inch. Would you consider these results to be valid?

I would consider these results to be valid due to the fact that high school boys in a basketball team are pretty tall,

i guess some are taller, some shorter that 6 feet 1 inch, but the average height seems to be valid
