Question

1. in a city, the record monthly high temperature for july is 88°f. the record monthly low temperature is 30°f. what is the range of temperatures for july?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for range

The range of a set of data is calculated by subtracting the minimum value from the maximum value. The formula for range \( R \) is \( R=\text{Maximum Value}-\text{Minimum Value} \).

Step2: Identify the maximum and minimum values

From the problem, the record monthly high temperature (maximum value) for July is \( 88^\circ\text{F} \) and the record monthly low temperature (minimum value) is \( 30^\circ\text{F} \).

Step3: Calculate the range

Substitute the maximum and minimum values into the range formula: \( R = 88 - 30 \).
Calculating the subtraction: \( 88-30 = 58 \).

Answer:

The range of temperatures for July is \( 58^\circ\text{F} \).
