To find the average temperature of these Alaskan cities in February, follow these steps:
1. List the temperatures:
- Anchorage: [tex]\( 12^{\circ} F \)[/tex]
- Juneau: [tex]\( 22^{\circ} F \)[/tex]
- Barrow: [tex]\( -24^{\circ} F \)[/tex]
- Kodiak: [tex]\( 25^{\circ} F \)[/tex]
- Fairbanks: [tex]\( -14^{\circ} F \)[/tex]
- Kotzebue: [tex]\( -12^{\circ} F \)[/tex]
- Gulkana: [tex]\( -7^{\circ} F \)[/tex]
- Nome: [tex]\( -4^{\circ} F \)[/tex]
2. Calculate the sum of the temperatures:
[tex]\[
12 + 22 + (-24) + 25 + (-14) + (-12) + (-7) + (-4)
\][/tex]
- Adding these temperatures together, we get:
[tex]\[
12 + 22 - 24 + 25 - 14 - 12 - 7 - 4 = -2
\][/tex]
3. Count the number of temperatures:
- There are 8 temperatures in total.
4. Calculate the average temperature:
- The average temperature is the sum of the temperatures divided by the number of temperatures.
[tex]\[
\text{Average} = \frac{\text{Sum of temperatures}}{\text{Number of temperatures}} = \frac{-2}{8} = -0.25
\][/tex]
Therefore, the average temperature for these Alaskan cities in February is [tex]\( -0.25^{\circ} F \)[/tex].
