The mean monthly temperatures (in degrees Celsius) at a station are 8, 9, 12, 16, 20, 24, 26, 26, 23, 19, 13, 9. What is the annual temperature range?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. 18 degrees Celsius
- Step 1: Range = highest mean monthly temperature - lowest = 26 - 8. Step 2. = 18 degrees Celsius. Answer: 18 degrees Celsius. Why not the others: 17.1 degrees Celsius: That is the mean annual temperature, not the range. 26 degrees Celsius: That is the highest monthly temperature. 34 degrees Celsius: That adds the highest and lowest values.
