The table below shows yearly temperature data for the cities of St. Louis, MO, and San
Francisco. CA. How does the climate of St.
Louis compare to the climate of San Francisco ?
City Mean Median Mode Range
St. Louis 55.3
 57  34  , 75  50 
San Francisco 56.8
 56.5
 49  , 55  , 61  15 

Answer:
The mean and median temperatures show that the temperature for the two cities are similar. Yet, the modes and range suggest that the temperatures in
St. Louis vary more widely than in San
Francisco. So, the climate of San
Francisco is less extreme than that of
St. Louis.
