The low temperature during one weekend in January were 2°,-3°,- 9°,- 11°, 1°,- 8° and -9°. What was the median low temperature that week

Answer 1

To find the median low temperature, we first need to arrange the temperatures in ascending order. The temperatures provided are:

2°, -3°, -9°, -11°, 1°, -8°, and -9°.

Arranging these in order, we get:

-11°, -9°, -9°, -8°, -3°, 1°, and 2°.

Since there are 7 temperatures (an odd number), the median will be the middle value. The middle value is the 4th value in the ordered list.

Looking at the sorted list:

1. -11°
2. -9°
3. -9°
4. -8° (this is the median)
5. -3°
6. 1°
7. 2°

Thus, the median low temperature for that weekend is -8°.
