Step 1

We can do this by adding up all the temperatures and dividing by the total number of temperatures. In Excel, Google Sheets, or similar software, we can use the "average" function to do this. Show more…

Key Concepts

Range

The range is a measure of dispersion that represents the difference between the highest and lowest values in a data set. It gives an overview of how spread out the data points are by subtracting the minimum value from the maximum value.

Variance

Variance quantifies the spread of data points around the mean of the data set by averaging the squared differences from the mean. It provides a numerical value that describes how much the data points vary from the average value, which is essential for understanding the degree of dispersion.

Standard Deviation

Standard deviation is the square root of the variance and represents the typical distance of each data point from the mean. This measure is widely used in statistics to summarize the variability or spread of a data set in the same units as the data.
