Answer: Average = 51.1° F
Median = 51.5 ° F
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1
Arranging the data set in Ascending Order
46.7 48.4 48.6 49.2 50.7 52.5 53.1 54.2 55.8 54.8 52.2 47.2
Will become,
46.7, 47.2, 48.4, 48.6, 49.2, 50.7, 52.2, 52.5, 53.1, 54.2, 54.8, 55.8
Step 2 - Calculating Average Temperature
= (46.7 + 47.2 + 48.4 + 48.6 + 49.2 + 50.7 + 52.2 + 52.5 + 53.1 + 54.2 + 54.8 + 55.8) / 12
= 51.1 °F is the Average Temperature
Step 3- Calculating Median
It is an even number of observations so we shall take the two in the middle and divide by 2 to get the Median.
= (50.7 + 52.2) / 2
= 51.45
= 51.5 ° F (1dp)
51.5 °F is the median temperature.
