Which city tended to have the lowest day-to-day consistency in daily highest temperatures in that month? In 1-2 sentences, explain your reasoning.

Answer 1

(2a) From the dot plots, we can see that San Luis Obispo had the highest daily high temperature of approximately 88 ° F and Lincoln had the lowest daily high temperature of approximately 12 ° F

(2b) The range of daily high temperatures for the three cities are Lincoln = 74 - 12 = 62 ° F, San Luis Obispo = 88 - 52 = 36 ° F and Sedona = 68 - 48 = 20 ° F. Thus, Sedona had the highest day-to-day consistency in the highest daily temperatures and Lincoln had the lowest day-to-day consistency in the highest daily temperatures.
