Question

3. ** Over the course of July, the high temperatures of 6 random days were collected. The data is 2 shown below. 84°F 92°F 79°F x°F 82°F 93°F If the average temperature of the data set is 86°F, determine the missing temperature. Show all work in the space below.

Answer 1

Given data:

The given table.

The expression for the average temperature is,

$\begin{gathered} 86^{\circ}F=\frac{84^{\circ}F+92^{\circ}F+79^{\circ}F+x+82^{\circ}F+93^{\circ}F}{6} \\ 516^{\circ}F=430^{\circ}F+x \\ x=86^{\circ}F \end{gathered}$

Thus, the value of x is 86 degree Fahrenheit.
