Carlos is a budding climate scientist and is analyzing historical data on the noontime temperature on each of two dates (Date 1 and Date 2) for each of the last 52 years at a weather station in Texas. The histograms below show the distributions of the two data sets. Each histogram shows temperature (in °C) on the horizontal axis and the number of years on the vertical axis. The means and standard deviations for the data sets are also given.
