Question

Consider the temperature (in Celsius) of 7 days of a week as 34, 34, 27, 28, 27, 34, 34. Identify the appropriate statistical technique to be used to calculate the following:

Find the average temperature.

Answer 1

The average can be calculated by finding the mean.

The formula used,

m = `" sum of the terms"/"number of terms"`

Average Temperature = `("Sum of All Reading")/("Total number of readings")`

Average Temperature = `(34 + 34 + 27 + 28 + 27 + 34 + 34)/7 = 218/7 = 31.142857`

The average temperature is 31.142857 C°.
