Answer:

6.5

Explanation:

In this question, we are tasked with calculating the mean temperature for the first 8 days.

since we we have the mean temperature for the first 7 days, the total temperature is thus 7 * 6 = 42

Now, on the 8th day, temperature is 10, this brings total temperature to 42 + 10 = 52

The mean temperature for the first 8 days ys therefore; 52/8 = 6.5
