Srinagar recorded the temperature for five days as follows.

Ist January 2011: $-$4 ^oC;         2nd January 2011: 3 ^oC;
3rd January 2011: 0 ^oC;              4th January 2011: $-$6 ^oC;
5th January 2011: 2 ^oC;

Find the average temperature for these five days.

Given: Temperature of Srinagar for five days.

To find: Here we have to find the average temperature for these five days.

Solution:

We know that:

$Average\ =\ \frac{Sum\ of\ all\ observations}{Number\ of\ observations}$

Now,

Sum of all temperatures = $(-4) + 3 + 0 + (-6) + 2$

Sum of all temperatures = $-5$

Number of days = 5

So,

$Average\ temperature\ =\ \frac{Sum\ of\ all\ temperatures}{Number\ of\ days}$

$Average\ temperature\ =\ \frac{-\ 5}{5}$

$\mathbf{Average\ temperature\ =\ -\ 1\ ^{o} C}$

So, the average temperature for these five days in Srinagar is $- 1$ ^oC.
