Example Problem:
Assume
that during a three-hour period spent outside, a person recorded the temperature
and their water consumption. The
experiment was conducted on seven randomly selected days during the summer.
Data:
| Temperature (F) |
Water Consumption (oz) |
| 99 |
48
|
| 85 |
27 |
| 97 |
48 |
| 75 |
16 |
| 92 |
32 |
| 85 |
25 |
| 83 |
20 |
Calculate the average temperature and average water consumption for the data
recorded above.
Procedure
(Temperature):
Add the temperatures listed in the data set. Divide that total
by the number of days the temperature was recorded.
