standard_description: Summarize numerical data sets in relation to their context, such as by:
- Reporting the number of observations.
- Describing the nature of the attribute under investigation, including how it was measured and its units of measurement.
- Relating the choice of measures of center and variability to the shape of the data distribution and the context in which the data were gathered.
- Giving quantitative measures of center (median and/or mean) and variability (interquartile range and/or mean absolute deviation), as well as describing any overall pattern and any striking deviations from the overall pattern with reference to the context in which the data were gathered.

Problem 2
Here are the low temperatures (in Celsius) for one week in Juneau, Alaska:
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["table", "table-bordered"], "style": "table-layout:fixed; width:100%"}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "background-color:#eeeeee; text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Monday"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "background-color:#eeeeee; text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Tuesday"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "background-color:#eeeeee; text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Wednesday"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "background-color:#eeeeee; text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Thursday"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "background-color:#eeeeee; text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Friday"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "background-color:#eeeeee; text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Saturday"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "background-color:#eeeeee; text-align:center"}, "strong": [{"_value": "Sunday"}]}]}, {"td": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$$5$$"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$$-1$$"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$$-6$$"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$$-2$$"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$$3$$"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$$7$$"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$$0$$"}]}]}]}]}]}
a.   Arrange the temperatures in order from coldest to warmest temperature.
b.   On a winter day, the low temperature in Anchorage was
$$23$$
degrees below
$$0$$
°C, and the low temperature in Minneapolis was
$$14$$
degrees below
$$0$$
°C. Sophia wrote: “Minneapolis was colder because
$$-14 < -23$$
.” Is Sophia's statement correct? Explain your answer.
c.   The lowest temperature ever recorded on Earth was
$$-89$$
°C in Antarctica. The average temperature on Mars is about
$$-55$$
°C. Which is warmer, the coldest temperature on Earth or the average temperature on Mars? Write an inequality to support your answer.
Problem 3
The elevation of New Orleans, Louisiana, is
$$7$$
feet below sea level. The elevation of Coachella, California, is
$$-72$$
feet. Write an inequality to compare the elevations of the two cities.
