Anthony wants to know the average daily high temperature in his town during the summer. He chooses two randomly samples of 10 consecutive days and records the daily high temperatures the daily high temperatures in FAHRENHEITRS follows.

1 answer

Sample 1: 85, 88, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 95, 97, 99
Sample 2: 82, 84, 86, 87, 88, 90, 91, 93, 95, 98

To calculate the average daily high temperature for each sample, we sum up all the temperatures and divide by the number of days:

Sample 1: (85 + 88 + 89 + 90 + 91 + 92 + 93 + 95 + 97 + 99) / 10 = 920 / 10 = 92°F
Sample 2: (82 + 84 + 86 + 87 + 88 + 90 + 91 + 93 + 95 + 98) / 10 = 894 / 10 = 89.4°F

Now, to find the overall average of the two samples, we sum up the averages and divide by 2 (since we have 2 samples):

(92 + 89.4) / 2 = 181.4 / 2 = 90.7°F

Therefore, the average daily high temperature in Anthony's town during the summer, based on his two samples, is approximately 90.7°F.
