What is the mean of the temperatures shown?

Question

Temperatures: -42, -32, -40, -40, -44

Answer 1

The mean of the temperatures shown is -39.6.

To calculate the mean, add all the temperatures together and then divide by the total number of temperatures:

(-42) + (-32) + (-40) + (-40) + (-44) = -198

-198 / 5 = -39.6

Therefore, the mean of the temperatures is -39.6.
