The daily minimum temperatures in degrees Celsius recorded in a certain Arctic region are as follows:

$-12.5, -10.8, -18.6, -8.4, -10.8, -4.2, -4.8, -6.7, -13.2, -11.8, -2.3, 1.2, 2.6, 0, 2.4, 0, 3.2, 2.7, 3.4, 0, -2.4, -2.4, 0, 3.2, 2.7, 3.4, 0, -2.4, -5.8, -8.9, -14.6, -12.3, -11.5,-7.8,-2.9$.

Represent them as frequency distribution table taking $-19.9$ to $-15$ as the first class interval.


Given:

The daily minimum temperatures in degrees Celsius recorded in a certain Arctic region are as follows:

$-12.5, -10.8, -18.6, -8.4, -10.8, -4.2, -4.8, -6.7, -13.2, -11.8, -2.3, 1.2, 2.6, 0, 2.4, 0, 3.2, 2.7, 3.4, 0, -2.4, -2.4, 0, 3.2, 2.7, 3.4, 0, -2.4, -5.8, -8.9, -14.6, -12.3, -11.5,-7.8,-2.9$.

To do:

We have to represent them as a frequency distribution table taking $-19.9$ to $-15$ as the first class interval.

Solution:

Maximum temperature $= -18.6$

Minimum temperature $= 3.4$

Range $= 3.4 - (-18.6)$

$= 3.4 + 18.6$

$= 22$

The required frequency distribution is:
