The table below shows the high and low temperatures in Houston, Texas, during a five-day period.
What was the mean low temperature, in degrees Fahrenheit, during the five-day period?
A
48.8
B
49
C
59
D
59.1
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Choice A is correct. The mean low temperature can be calculated by finding the sum of the low temperatures for all the days shown in the table, 49 + 37 + 41 + 54 + 63 = 244, and then dividing the sum by the number of days the temperature was recorded, .
Choice B is incorrect. This may be the result of choosing the median rather than calculating the mean. Choices C and D are incorrect and may be the result of calculation errors.
