. What was the median low
temperature that week?

1 answer

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°.
