4. Find the mean, median, mode, and range of the record high temperatures in Denver for the month of April.
5. On the night of April 29th, would you expect the temperature to drop below freezing (32°F)? Why or why not?
6. Write a paragraph that answers the following questions:
a. What information in this chart gives you the most accurate picture of the temperature in Denver in April?

I can definitely help you with that! Let's go through each question one by one and find the answers using the data given in the table.
1. Mean, Median, Mode, and Range of Average Low Temperatures:
To find the mean, add up all the average low temperatures and divide by the number of days in April.
To find the median, arrange the average low temperatures in ascending order and find the middle value.
To find the mode, identify the average low temperature that appears most frequently.
To find the range, subtract the lowest average low temperature from the highest average low temperature.
2. Mean, Median, Mode, and Range of Average High Temperatures:
Using the same process as before, find the mean, median, mode, and range of the average high temperatures.
3. Mean, Median, Mode, and Range of Record Low Temperatures:
Again, apply the same steps to find the mean, median, mode, and range of the record low temperatures.
4. Mean, Median, Mode, and Range of Record High Temperatures:
Using the same process as before, find the mean, median, mode, and range of the record high temperatures.
5. To determine whether the temperature would drop below freezing on the night of April 29th, you can compare the record low temperature of 13°F with freezing temperature (32°F). Since the record low is higher than freezing, it is unlikely that the temperature would drop below freezing on that night.
6. Analysis of the chart:
a. The average low, average high, and record high temperatures provide the most accurate picture of the temperature in Denver in April because they give information about the typical range and extremes.
b. The record low temperatures might not help determine the typical temperature in Denver in April since they represent the lowest temperature ever recorded, which may not occur regularly.
c. When explaining the temperature in Denver in April, you could mention the average low and average high temperatures to give a general idea of the temperature range and what to expect on a typical day.
d. Whether to recommend vacationing in Denver in April based on the temperature depends on personal preferences. You could consider the average high temperatures, which suggest mild to warm weather, and the possible snowfall from occasional lower temperatures. Additionally, other factors like activities, events, and personal tolerances to different temperatures should be taken into account.
I hope this helps you with your assignment! If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
