Question

The table shows the change in the low temperature in albany compared to the day before

WEDNESDAY:+3.5
THURSDAY:-4.1
FRIDAY: 0
SATURDAY:-2.2
On which day did the low temp change the most?

Answer 1

Thursday

Explanation:

We are given the changes in the low temperature compared to the day before.

Now, first we find the difference in temperature occurring on each day.

As, difference = | current value - previous value |.

So, we get the differences as,

Wednesday = | 4.1 - 3.5 | = 0.6

Thursday = | 0 - 4.1 | = 4.1

Friday = | 2.2 - 0 | = 2.2

Now, as we see that the maximum difference i.e 4.1 occurs on Thursday.

Hence, the most change in the temperature occurs on Thursday.
