To find the median low temperature, we first need to arrange the temperatures in ascending order:
-11°, -9°, -9°, -8°, -3°, 1°, 2°
Since there are 7 temperatures, the median will be the middle temperature when they are arranged in order. In this case, the median is -8°.
Therefore, the median low temperature for that week in January was -8°.
The low temperatures during one week in January were 2°
,-3°
,-9°
