Answer:
The average low temperature is -1[tex]^{o}C[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that the low temperature for the 5 days are: -2[tex]^{o}C[/tex], 5[tex]^{o}C[/tex], -4[tex]^{o}C[/tex], -12[tex]^{o}C[/tex] and 8[tex]^{o}C[/tex].
The average low temperature is the mean low temperature for the 5 days. And can be determined by:
Average low temperature = [tex]\frac{total temperature for the days}{the number of days}[/tex]
total temperature = -2 -4 -12 + 5 + 8
= -18 + 13
= -5[tex]^{o}C[/tex]
the number of days = 5
So that;
Average low temperature = [tex]\frac{-5}{5}[/tex]
= - 1[tex]^{o}C[/tex]
The average low temperature for the 5 days is -1[tex]^{o}C[/tex].
