Here Are Data About the Average January Low Temperature in Cities

Question 22

Essay

Here are data about the average January low temperature in cities in the United States, and factors that might allow us to
predict temperature. The data, available for 55 cities, include:  Here are data about the average January low temperature in cities in the United States, and factors that might allow us to predict temperature.

the "degrees" of longitude and latitude. The geographic "degrees" are based on modeling the Earth as a sphere and dividing it
up into 360 degrees for a full circle. Thus 180 degrees of longitude is halfway around the world from Greenwich, England
