Question

The following are the temperatures in °C for the first 10 days in January:

1.4, -8.1, -8.2, -5.2, -3.4, -2.3, 8.3 ,-7.1 ,1.3 ,3.6
Calculate the range.

Answer 1

The highest temperature is 8.3, in which we call the max.

The lowest temperature is -8.2, which is the min.

Subtract those values to get the range.

Range = max - min = 8.3 - (-8.2) = 8.3 + 8.2 = 16.5

Answer: 16.5 degrees Celsius
