Question

Using the bar graph from above to answer the following questions:

Answer 1

From the bar chart, extract the necessary information then proceed to answer the questions under it

Key formula to use, is average formula

`\bar{x}=(\Sigma x)/(n)`

The list of values for the high temperature in degrees fahrenheit is given below

`\text{High Temp.= }\mleft\lbrace26,38,50,62,77,95,97,79,65,52,43,24\mright\rbrace`

The list of values for the low temperature in degrees fahrenheit is given below

`Low\text{ Temp.= }\lbrace-15,-11,-1,6,26,38,32,22,10,3,-14,-12\rbrace`

a) The average monthly low temperature for Bogusville will be

`\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow(-15+(-11)+(-1)+6+26+38+32+22+10+3+(-14)+(-12))/(12) \\ \Rightarrow(84)/(12)=7^0F \end{gathered}`

b)The average monthly high temperature for Bogusville will be

`\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow(26+38+50+62+77+95+97+79+65+52+43+24)/(12) \\ \Rightarrow(708)/(12)=59^0F \end{gathered}`

c)The second quarter falls within the 4th,5th and 6th months of the year.

Thus the average monthly high temperature for Bogusville will be

`\Rightarrow(62+77+95)/(3)=(234)/(3)=78^0F`

d)he first quarter falls within the 1st,2nd and 3rd months of the year.

Thus the average monthly low temperature for Bogusville will be

`\Rightarrow((-15)+(-11)+(-1))/(3)=(-27)/(3)=-9^0F`
