Question

Another measure of central tendency for a set of data is called the midrange. The midrange is defined as the value that is halfway between the minimum data value and the maximum data value. That is,

Midrange = 
minimum value + maximum value
2
.

The midrange is often stated as the average of a set of data in situations in which there are a large amount of data and the data are constantly changing. Many weather reports state the average daily temperature of a city as the midrange of the temperatures achieved during that day. For instance, if the minimum daily temperature of a city was 60° and the maximum daily temperature was 90°, then the midrange of the temperatures is

60° + 90°
2
 = 75°.



During a two-minute period, the temperature in a town increased from a low of −4°F to a high of 45°F. Find the mid-range of the temperatures during this two-minute period.
