Math Problem Statement

The following snapshots represent the distribution of Temperatures during a 7-day period for different cities around the world. Determine the shape of the distribution (days vs morning temperature). Note: Days are under the first column.

The following snapshots represent the distribution of Temperatures during a 7-day period for different cities around the world. Determine the shape of the distribution (days vs morning temperature). Note: Days are under the first column.

Solution

From the image provided, the weather data for each city represents daily temperature trends over a 7-day period. Let's analyze the morning temperatures (usually the second temperature value listed in each city's forecast) to understand the distribution patterns:

Step-by-Step Approach:

  1. List Morning Temperatures for each city over the 7 days.
  2. Analyze the Distribution Shape for each city.
  3. Identify Trends like rising, falling, or stable temperature patterns.

1. Amsterdam:

  • Morning temperatures (in Fahrenheit): 51, 52, 53, 48, 55, 55, 56
  • Distribution Shape: Slight increase after mid-week, generally stable around the 50s.

2. Glendale:

  • Morning temperatures: 76, 80, 78, 69, 69, 71, 69
  • Distribution Shape: Very high at the beginning of the week, then drops and stabilizes in the high 60s by the end of the week.

3. Burbank:

  • Morning temperatures: 66, 69, 69, 69, 66, 64, 64
  • Distribution Shape: Starts high, then fluctuates slightly, mostly stable around the mid to high 60s.

4. New York:

  • Morning temperatures: 46, 48, 55, 53, 53, 49, 48
  • Distribution Shape: Rising during mid-week, then drops slightly towards the end.

5. Yerevan:

  • Morning temperatures: 46, 46, 48, 49, 51, 51, 51
  • Distribution Shape: Steady increase throughout the week from the mid-40s to the low 50s.

Summary of the Distribution Shapes:

  • Amsterdam: Roughly U-shaped.
  • Glendale: High at the start, then a sharp drop, stabilizing (L-shaped).
  • Burbank: Very consistent (flat).
  • New York: Slight peak in the middle, but relatively stable (slightly inverted-U shape).
  • Yerevan: Increasing (linear upward trend).

5 Related Questions:

  1. How can we calculate the average morning temperature for each city over the 7 days?
  2. What would be the median morning temperature for each city's forecast?
  3. How does the variance in morning temperatures compare between the cities?
  4. What trends in evening temperatures can be inferred from this data?
  5. Can we model the temperature changes for each city using a linear regression?

Tip: Identifying temperature distribution trends can be useful for predicting weather patterns or determining the volatility of temperatures in different regions.
