if i am planning a trip based on last years weather the weather is as follows:
68;68;63;75;75;63;46;67;75;75;75;68;71;65;61;68;70;72;72;70;70;71;81;84;85;85;80;79;80;80 and those are 30 consecutive days of the month last year. what is the expected value. or expected temp?
Add the temperatures together and divide by 30 to get the average temperature.
Arrange the temperatures in numerical order and find the middle to find the median temperature.
i know how to find the mean and the median but i need to know how to find the expected value of the set.
The expected value is the same as the average. You could also compute the standard deviation which gives you an indication of how much the actual temperature can differ from the expectation value.
To find the expected value or expected temperature, you need to calculate the average of the given temperatures.
Here's how you can do it:
1. Add up all the temperatures: 68 + 68 + 63 + 75 + 75 + 63 + 46 + 67 + 75 + 75 + 75 + 68 + 71 + 65 + 61 + 68 + 70 + 72 + 72 + 70 + 70 + 71 + 81 + 84 + 85 + 85 + 80 + 79 + 80 + 80 = 2072.
2. Divide the sum by the number of temperatures (in this case, 30): 2072 / 30 = 69.07.
3. Round the result to an appropriate number of decimal places. In this case, let's round to two decimal places: 69.07 rounds to 69.07.
Therefore, the expected temperature, based on the temperatures from last year, would be approximately 69.07 degrees Fahrenheit.
