The table below shows the lowest temperature, in degrees fahrenheit, on each of 5 days. What is is mean lowest temperature, in degrees fahrenheit, in the city for those 5 days?

-36
-25
12
-4
18

Respuesta :

Answer: -7

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate mean , the formula is given by:-

[tex]Mean=\frac{\text{Sum of all observations }}{\text{Number of all observations}}[/tex]

From the given values of temperature in the table.

The sum of temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, in the city for those 5 days is given by [tex]S=-36+(-25)+12+(-4)+18=-36-25+12-4+18\\\Rightarrow\ S=-35[/tex]

The number of days N = 5

So the mean lowest temperature, in degrees fahrenheit, in the city for those 5 days is given by:-

[tex]Mean=\frac{S}{N}=\frac{-35}{5}=-7[/tex]

Answer: -6.8

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to find the mean of all the #’s so to do that you will have to add all the #’s up including the negatives and you would get -34, after you do that you will have to divide by 5 and get -6.8
