Answer:

The approximate average low temperature in Marsh City is 0 F.

Explanation:

The formula of average is:


average = (a_(1)+a_(2)+a_(3).....a_(n) )/(n)

where n is the number of samples. For this case n=7.

Substituting in the formula:


average = ((-3)+ (-5) + 3+ 7+ 2+ 2+ (- 5))/(7)


average = (1)/(7)


average = 0.143 F = 0 F (rounding)
