To calculate: The extreme high and low temperatures for each state in degrees Celsius.
a.
Answer to Problem 34PPS
The extreme high and low temperatures for each state in degrees Celsius is summarized in the table as,
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The table showing extreme high and low temperatures of different states.
Formula used:
The formula to covert temperatures from degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius
Calculation:
Consider the given table,
Recall the formula to covert temperatures from degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius
For Arizona, the temperatures are converted as,
Extreme low,
Extreme high,
For Florida, the temperatures are converted as,
Extreme low,
Extreme high,
For Kentucky, the temperatures are converted as,
Extreme low,
Extreme high,
For Michigan, the temperatures are converted as,
Extreme low,
Extreme high,
For New York, the temperatures are converted as,
Extreme low,
Extreme high,
Thus, the extreme high and low temperatures for each state in degrees Celsius is summarized in the table as,
b.
To calculate: The range of temperatures for each state in degrees Celsius.
b.
Answer to Problem 34PPS
The range of temperatures in degrees Celsius for each state is summarized in the table as,
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The table showing extreme high and low temperatures of different states.
Formula used:
The difference between the extreme high and low temperatures is called the range.
Calculation:
Consider the given table,
Recall that difference between the extreme high and low temperatures is called the range.
Apply it to calculate the range for each state as,
For Arizona, the range is calculated as,
For Florida, the range is calculated as,
For Kentucky, range is calculated as,
For Michigan, range is calculated as,
For New York, range is calculated as,
Thus, range of temperatures in degrees Celsius for each state is summarized in the table as,
c.
To calculate: The arrangement of states in order from least to greatest ranges.
c.
Answer to Problem 34PPS
The list of states arranged in order from least to greatest ranges is
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The table showing ranges of different states.
Formula used:
The arrangement of numbers from smallest to greatest is called as ascending order.
Calculation:
Consider the given table,
Recall that arrangement of numbers from smallest to greatest is called as ascending order.
So, the ranges arranged in ascending order are,
Now, the states arranged according to this order are,
Thus, list of states arranged in order from least to greatest ranges is
