Question
The daily high temperatures during one week were $-6^{\circ},-11^{\circ}, 1^{\circ}$ $5^{\circ},-3^{\circ},-9^{\circ},$ and $-5^{\circ} .$ Find the average daily high temperature for the week.
Step 1
This can be done by adding all the temperatures together: \[-6^{\circ} + -11^{\circ} + 1^{\circ} + 5^{\circ} + -3^{\circ} + -9^{\circ} + -5^{\circ} = -28^{\circ}\] Show more…
