The minimum temperature in °C for the first 10 days of December 2010 in a certain city was10°, 8°, 9°, 11°, 8°, 7°, 5°, 2°, 3°, 1°(a) Calculate the mean minimum temperature for this period.(b) Calculate range of temperature.(c) What was the minimum temperature?(d) On how many days the temperature was more than mean temperature?
a)
$ \begin{array}{l}
The\ mean\ minimum\ temperature\ for\ this\ period\ =\ \frac{Sum\ of\ temp.\ of\ all\ days}{Total\ no.\ of\ days}\\
\\
\\
\\
The\ mean\ minimum\ temperature\ for\ this\ period\ =\ \frac{10^{\circ } +8^{\circ } +9^{\circ } +11^{\circ } +8^{\circ } +7^{\circ } +5^{\circ } +2^{\circ } +3^{\circ } +1^{\circ }}{10}\\
\\
\\
The\ mean\ minimum\ temperature\ for\ this\ period\ =\ \frac{64^{\circ }}{10}\\
\\
\\
The\ mean\ minimum\ temperature\ for\ this\ period\ =\ 6.4^{\circ }
\end{array}$
b) The range is the difference between the lowest and the highest observation in a data set.
Range = Highest temperature - Lowest temperature
Range = 11o - 1o = 10o
c) Minimum temperature = 1o
d) Number of days having temperature more than mean temperature = 6 days
