Question

For five days Vicki recorded the temperature outside. The temperature (°F) was 36.9°, 34.6°, 37°, 40.2°, 32.8°. About what was the average daily temperature?

Answer 1

The average daily temperature is 36.3°.

Explanation:

Given,

The temperature (°F) of 5 days were 36.9°, 34.6°, 37°, 40.2°, 32.8°.

We know that,

`\text{Average of observations}=\frac{\text{Total sum of the observation}}{\text{Number of observations}}`

Thus,

`\text{Average daily temperature}=(36.9^(\circ)+34.6^(\circ)+37^(\circ)+ 40.2^(\circ)+32.8^(\circ))/(5)`

`=(181.5^(\circ))/(5)`

`=36.3^(\circ)`
