Question:
The daily minimum temperature recorded (in degree F) at a place during a week was as under:
Find the mean temperature.
Solution:
Daily minimum temperatures = 35.5, 30.8, 27.3, 32.1, 23.8 and 29.9
Thus, we have:
Mean temperature $=\frac{35.5+30.8+27.3+32.1+23.8+29.9}{6}$
$=\frac{179.4}{6}$
$=29.9^{\circ} \mathrm{F}$
