Question

Given a variable temps that refers to a list, all of whose elements refer to values of type float, representing temperature data, compute the average temperature and assign it to a variable named avg_temp. Besides temps and avg_temp, you may use two other variables -- k and total.temps = []
avg_temp = 0.0
total = 0.0

for k in range(temps):
total += k

avg_temp = total/len(temps)

Answer 1

Answer:

temps = [10.2, 20.4, 30.0]

avg_temp = 0.0

total = 0.0

for k in temps:

   total += k

avg_temp = total/len(temps)

print(avg_temp)

Explanation:

- Create a list temps, that holds value for temperatures

- Initialize the average and total

- Initialize a for loop that iterates through the temps

- Add the values in temp to the total

- When the loop is done, calculate the average

- Print the average

Answer 2

Answer:

temps = [23.4, 20.2, 19.5, 21.3, 18.7, 25.4, 24.9]

avg_temp = 0.0

total = 0.0

for k in temps:

 total += k

print("The total is \n", total)  

avg_temp = total/len(temps)

print("The average temperature is \n", avg_temp)

Explanation:

Using Python programming language

Create a list with seven values for daily temperature values (Its hard-coded to represent seven days of the week)

Declare and initialize to zero the variables avg_temp and total

Use a for loop to add elements of the list

Print the values
