The low temperature during one week in January were 2",
-3,-9,-11,-1,-8 and -9. What was the median low temperature that week
To find the median, we first need to put the temperatures in order from least to greatest:
-11, -9, -9, -8, -3, -1, 2
There are seven temperatures, so the median will be the fourth temperature in this list (because it’s the middle number).
Therefore, the median low temperature that week was -8.
To find the median low temperature for the week in January, we need to arrange the temperatures in ascending order:
-11, -9, -9, -8, -3, -1, 2
There are a total of 7 temperatures. Since the number of temperatures is odd, the median will be the value in the middle.
The median is: -8.
