During winter,the temperature in a village in Lesotho,was measured evry morning for ten days.here are the recorded temperatures in degrees celsius.what was the mean(average)temperature for ten days?-12,-7,1,0,-16,-20,-4,-6,-12,-9
total is -85 divided by 10=-8.5
To find the mean or average temperature for the ten days, you need to add up all the recorded temperatures and then divide the sum by the number of days.
Let's calculate the average temperature step by step:
Step 1: Add up all the temperatures
-12 + (-7) + 1 + 0 + (-16) + (-20) + (-4) + (-6) + (-12) + (-9) = -97
Step 2: Divide the sum by the number of days (which is 10):
-97 ÷ 10 = -9.7
Therefore, the mean (average) temperature for ten days in the village in Lesotho is -9.7 degrees Celsius.
