Expert Solution
Step 1

Given that the wind chill index W is the perceived temperature when actual temperature is T and wind speed is v and can be written as W=fT,v.

a)It is required to estimate fT-15,30 and fv-15,30.

Use h=5 and obtain fT-15,30 as,

fT-15,30=f-15+h,30-f-15,30h                   =f-15+5,30-f-15,305                   =f-10,30-f-15,305                   =-20--265                   =1.2

Use h=5 and obtain fT-15,30 as,

fT-15,30=f-15-5,30-f-15,30h                   =f-20,30-f-15,30-5                   =-33--26-5                   =1.4

Thus, fT-15,30 is approximately the average as,

fT-15,30=1.2+1.42=1.3

Therefore, when actual temperature is -15C and wind speed is 30 km/h the apparent temperature rises by 1.3C for every degree that the actual temperature rises.
