Question

For 4 days, temperatures in Alaska at 9:00 a.m were 12, -2,-6, and 8.4, respectively. What was the average temperature?

Answer 1

Given:

`\text{Temperatures are }12^(\circ),-2^(\circ),-6^(\circ),8.4^(\circ)`
`\text{Average}=\frac{Sum\text{ of the terms}}{No\text{ of the terms}}`
`\text{Average}=(12-2-6+8.4)/(4)`
`\text{Average}=(12.4)/(4)`
`\text{Average}=3.1`
`\text{Therefore, Average temperature in Alaska at 9am is 3.1}^(\circ)`
