Q. hat was the diver's elevation afterThe temperatures in five cities were 3∘F,−5∘F,7∘F,−9∘F, and −13∘F. What was the mean temperature of the five cities? (Write your answer as a decimal).
Add Temperatures: To find the mean temperature, add all the temperatures together. 3+(−5)+7+(−9)+(−13)
Perform Addition: Now, do the addition. 3−5+7−9−13=−17
Divide by Count: There are 5 temperatures, so divide the sum by 5 to find the mean.−17÷5
Calculate Mean: Calculate the division to get the mean temperature.−17÷5=−3.4
