Explanation:

Step1: List the temperatures

The daily high temperatures are: 29, 31, 24, 26, 29, 35, 27, 32.

Step2: Sort the temperatures

Sort them in ascending order: 24, 26, 27, 29, 29, 31, 32, 35.

Step3: Identify the lower half

The lower half of 8 data points (since 8 is even) is the first 4 values: 24, 26, 27, 29.

Step4: Find the range of the lower half

Range = Maximum - Minimum. For the lower half, maximum is 29, minimum is 24. So range = \( 29 - 24 = 5 \).

Answer:

The range for the lower half of the temperatures is 5.
