Answer 1

-2° F

Explanation:

Data provided:

Temperatures:

-8° F , -11° F , -4° F , 1° F , 9° F , 4° F , -5° F

Now,

The average is calculated as:

Average =
`\frac{\textup{Sum of all the observations}}{\textup{Number of observations}}`

Sum of all the observations = - 8° - 11° - 4° + 1° + 9° + 4° - 5° = -14° F

Total number of observations = 7

Therefore,

Average temperature in Fargo, North Dakota =
`\frac{\textup{-14}^o\ \textup{F}}{\textup{7}}`

or

Average temperature in Fargo, North Dakota = -2° F
