Question

3. ** Over the course of July, the high temperatures of 6 random days were collected. The data is 2 shown below. 84°F 92°F 79°F x°F 82°F 93°F If the average temperature of the data set is 86°F, determine the missing temperature. Show all work in the space below.

Answer 1

Given data:

The given table.

The expression for the average temperature is,

`\begin{gathered} 86^(\circ)F=(84^(\circ)F+92^(\circ)F+79^(\circ)F+x+82^(\circ)F+93^(\circ)F)/(6) \\ 516^(\circ)F=430^(\circ)F+x \\ x=86^(\circ)F \end{gathered}`

Thus, the value of x is 86 degree Fahrenheit.
