Use the climatic data to answer the question below Month Jan Feb Mar Apr May June July Aug Sept Oct Nov Dec…

Analyze the question: We need the mean (average) temperature for the six months from July to December.

Concept: Mean = (sum of all values) ÷ (number of values)

Solution:

Temperatures from July to December:

• July = 27°C
• August = 28°C
• September = 28°C
• October = 28°C
• November = 27°C
• December = 27°C

Sum = 27 + 28 + 28 + 28 + 27 + 27 = 165°C

Number of months = 6

Mean = 165 ÷ 6 = 27.5°C

Answer: The mean temperature from July to December is 27.5°C, which matches option C.

Tip: Read the month range carefully. July to December is 6 months (July, Aug, Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec), so divide by 6. You can also check quickly: the values are only 27 and 28, so the mean must lie between them. Options A and B are impossible, and since three months are 27 and three are 28, the mean is exactly halfway, 27.5.
