Question

A travel agency created a pamphlet for a city. They chose the high temperature for 10 random days during the year to calculate the temperature for the entire year, as shown below.

What was the mean daily temperature?

Answer 1

A. 68.4 degrees
Add all the temperatures together and divide by the number of days

Answer 2

The mean daily temperature is indeed 68.4°F. The correct answer is A. 68.4°F.

To find the mean (average) daily temperature, you'll need to sum up all the

temperatures and then divide by the number of days.

Sum of temperatures:

61 + 77 + 81 + 52 + 81 + 61 + 77 + 61 + 81 + 52 = 684

Number of days (which is 10 in this case)

Now, divide the sum of temperatures by the number of days:

684 (sum of temperatures) / 10 (number of days) = 68.4

So, the mean daily temperature is indeed 68.4°F. The correct answer is A. 68.4°F.
