Harrow Weather Data Analysis Report

The document collects temperature data from Harrow, UK over 10 days and analyzes it. Bar and line charts show the temperatures ranged from 5 to 13 degrees Celsius, with an average (mean) of 10.2 degrees. The middle value (median) was 10 degrees. Temperatures of 10 degrees occurred most often (mode). The difference between highest and lowest temperatures (range) was 8 degrees. Spread of the data (standard deviation) was calculated as 2.227 degrees.

Task 1:

For this task we must collect the humidity of a city for ten days straight.
For this task I’ve chosen to Harrow as the city of which I will collect data
for, in the past ten days the weather of Harrow is something like this:

Day Day Day Day Day Day Day Day Day Day
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

10 5 °C 9 °C 12 °C 11 13 °C 10 °C 13 °C 10 °C 9 °C
°C °C

Now, this data on its own is a good indication of the weather patterns, but a
better way to understand this data is to put it in charts that can show more
of the details in regard to the weather pattern. For this part, I’ve chosen to
use a Bar Chart and a Line Chart.

Both of these charts serve as a good visual showing of the changes that had
occurred over the course of the ten days in Harrow. Now that we have
some visual representation, we can move on to interpreting the numbers
using the mathematic principals of Mean, Median, Mode, etc.

To start off, the mean is the average of any set of data. It the sum of all
values combined divided by the number of values available.

Mean = (10 + 5 + 9 + 12 + 11 + 13 + 10 + 13 + 10 + 9) : 10 = 10.2

The median is the middle value, so to speak. It is the value in a data set that
is right in the middle of all the numbers after they’ve all been arranged into
a sensible order.

Median: 5, 9, 9, 10, 10, 10, 11, 12, 13, 13 = 10 Being the number in the
centre of the data set.

Mode is the number in a data set that appears the most, for this there can be
multiple ‘modes’ if there are multiple high numbers that are equal to each
other.

Mode: 5, 9, 9, 10, 10, 10, 11, 12, 13, 13 = 10 Is the mode as it appeared 3
times in the data set.
Range is the difference between the largest and smallest numbers of a data
set.

Range: 5, 9, 9, 10, 10, 10, 11, 12, 13, 13 = 13 – 5 = 8 Is the Range of the
data set.

And standard deviation is the measure of how spread out the numbers of a
data set are.

Σ(xi – μ)2
Σ2 =
N
(10 – 10.2)2 + … + (9 –
= 10.2)2
