The following data is a sample of daily maximum
temperatures in Toronto in March (from 2006-2008).
a. Calculate the mean (1 decimal place) and
standard deviation (2 decimal places) of this
data. You may use technology to answer this
question. Only the final answer is required. [3]
b. Determine a reasonable interval size and number
of intervals. Produce a properly labeled
histogram for the grouped data using technology.
Paste this graph into your solutions. [4]
c. In March, the temperatures in Calgary are
normally distributed with a mean daily
maximum temperature of 4.5ºC and a standard
deviation of 6.25ºC. What percent of days
would you predict would be between 0ºC and
10ºC? This question must be answered algebraically. [3]
