Anthony wants to know the average daily high temperatures in his town during the summer. He chose two random samples of 10 consecutive days and recorded the daily high temperatures. The daily high temperatures in Fahrenheit are as follows.
Sample 1: 78 82 85 87 90 85 79 86 91 88
Sample 2: 81 79 80 86 89 92 82 88 84 87
Find the mean daily high temperatures of each sample and calculate the difference between these mean daily high temperatures.
The mean daily high temperature of Sample 1 is 85.1.
The mean daily high temperature of Sample 2 is 34.8.
The mean daily high temperatures of the two samples differ by 0.3 explain how
The mean daily high temperature of Sample 1 is 85.1 and the mean daily high temperature of Sample 2 is 84.8. The difference between these two mean temperatures is 0.3.
This means that on average, the daily high temperatures during the summer in Sample 1 are only slightly higher than the daily high temperatures in Sample 2. The difference of 0.3 degrees Fahrenheit is relatively small and indicates that there is not a significant difference in the overall average temperatures between the two samples.
