The temperatures in degree celcius at midnight on 10 consecutive days were 4,1,3,0,-2,-1,-5,-3,1,-2. How many of these temperatures are within 2.2 degree celcius of 1 degree celcius?
To determine how many of these temperatures are within 2.2 degrees Celsius of 1 degree Celsius, you need to compare each temperature to the range from 1 - 2.2 degrees Celsius to 1 + 2.2 degrees Celsius.
Here's how you can do it step by step:
1. Start with the given temperature list: 4, 1, 3, 0, -2, -1, -5, -3, 1, -2.
2. Calculate the lower and upper bounds:
- Lower bound = 1 degree Celsius - 2.2 degrees Celsius = -1.2 degrees Celsius
- Upper bound = 1 degree Celsius + 2.2 degrees Celsius = 3.2 degrees Celsius
3. Check each temperature in the list to see if it falls within the range of -1.2 to 3.2 degrees Celsius.
- 4 (outside the range)
- 1 (within the range)
- 3 (within the range)
- 0 (within the range)
- -2 (within the range)
- -1 (within the range)
- -5 (outside the range)
- -3 (within the range)
- 1 (within the range)
- -2 (within the range)
4. Count the number of temperatures that fall within the range:
- There are 7 temperatures (1, 3, 0, -2, -1, -3, -2) that are within 2.2 degrees Celsius of 1 degree Celsius.
Therefore, the answer is 7 of these temperatures are within 2.2 degrees Celsius of 1 degree Celsius.
