Question

A local weather station collected the 12 p.m. temperature at 5 different locations in its town:

Temperatures, °F: {63, 59, 60, 61, 62}

What is the estimated mean absolute deviation of the 12 p.m. temperatures in the town?



A, 1.2 °F

B, 1.4 °F

C, 6 °F

D, 61 °F

Answer 1

The answer is D; 61 degrees F. I got my answer by adding up 63+59+60+61+62 which game me 305. When you want to determine the mean, you have to add up the numbers and divide by the number of numbers that there are. Since there was 5 numbers I will divide 305 by 5 which gives me 61. I hope this helps you!

Answer 2

the correct answer is A 1.2°F
