Question

A news station in Oregon recorded that the low temperatures for 5 days were –3, –2, 2, 2, and 6. What was the average temperature for those days?

Answer 1

the answer is 1

Explanation:

Sum of numbers = -3-2+2+2+6 = 5

Count = 5

So,

Average = 5/5

=> Average = 1

Answer 2

Average = 1

Explanation:

Let us define the average first:

Average is calculated by adding up all the values and then dividing the sum by total number of values.

The formula for average may be written as:

`Average = (Sum)/(count)`

In the following case,

Sum of numbers = -3-2+2+2+6 = 5

Count = 5

So,

Average = 5/5

=> Average = 1
