Question

It is reported on the local weather broadcast that the day's temperatures will stay between –4° and 4°. Which of these represents a series of temperatures that could occur during the day?

Answer 1

Any series of temperatures between -4° and 4° could occur during the day, as long as they stay within that range. For example, the temperature could start at -3°, then rise to 1°, fall to -2°, and rise again to 3°, and so on. Another example could be the temperature staying constant at 0° throughout the day. Therefore, there are many possible series of temperatures that could occur during the day, as long as they stay within the given temperature range.
