Answer 1

To find the median low temperature, first, we need to organize the temperatures in ascending order:

-11°, -9°, -9°, -8°, -3°, 1°, 2°

Now, with the ordered list, we find the median. Since there are 7 temperatures (an odd number), the median is the middle value.

The middle value is the 4th value in the ordered list.

-11°, -9°, -9°, **-8°**, -3°, 1°, 2°

Thus, the median low temperature for the week is **-8°**.
