Certainly! Let's walk through the problem step-by-step, ensuring that we determine the difference between the lowest daily maximum and the lowest daily minimum temperatures for each country.
Here's the table provided in the question, corrected for clarity:
```
| Country | Lowest daily maximum (°C) | Lowest daily minimum (°C) | Difference (°C) |
|-------------------|---------------------------|--------------------------|-----------------|
| Scotland | 21.59 | 2.72 | ? |
| Northern Ireland | -1.13 | -2.61 | ? |
| England | -1.13 | 2.33 | ? |
| Wales | 0.80 | -1.87 | ? |
```
Now, let's determine the differences:
1. Scotland:
- Lowest daily maximum: 21.59°C
- Lowest daily minimum: 2.72°C
- Difference: [tex]\( 21.59 - 2.72 = 18.87 \)[/tex]
2. Northern Ireland:
- Lowest daily maximum: -1.13°C
- Lowest daily minimum: -2.61°C
- Difference: [tex]\( -1.13 - (-2.61) = -1.13 + 2.61 = 1.48 \)[/tex]
3. England:
- Lowest daily maximum: -1.13°C
- Lowest daily minimum: 2.33°C
- Difference: [tex]\( -1.13 - 2.33 = -3.46 \)[/tex]
4. Wales:
- Lowest daily maximum: 0.80°C
- Lowest daily minimum: -1.87°C
- Difference: [tex]\( 0.80 - (-1.87) = 0.80 + 1.87 = 2.67 \)[/tex]
Updating the table with the calculated differences, we get:
```
| Country | Lowest daily maximum (°C) | Lowest daily minimum (°C) | Difference (°C) |
|-------------------|---------------------------|--------------------------|-----------------|
| Scotland | 21.59 | 2.72 | 18.87 |
| Northern Ireland | -1.13 | -2.61 | 1.48 |
| England | -1.13 | 2.33 | -3.46 |
| Wales | 0.80 | -1.87 | 2.67 |
```
So, the differences in degrees between the lowest daily maximum temperature and the lowest daily minimum temperature in each country are as follows:
- Scotland: [tex]\(18.87\)[/tex] °C
- Northern Ireland: [tex]\(1.48\)[/tex] °C
- England: [tex]\(-3.46\)[/tex] °C
- Wales: [tex]\(2.67\)[/tex] °C
