the bar graph shows each months average daily low temperature in degrees fahrenheit. for what month is the graphed temperature positive and closest to 0°f? average daily low temperatures degrees fahrenheit -40 -30 -20 -10 0 10 20 30 40 50 jan feb mar apr may jun jul aug sep oct nov dec -19.2 -23.7 -21.1 -9.1 14.9 29.2 33.6 33.3 27.5 8.5 -6.9 -17.2 in the month of november the graphed temperature is positive and closest to 0°f.

Explanation:

Step1: Identify positive - temperature months

Positive - temperature months are May, June, July, August, September, October, November. Their temperatures are 14.9°F, 29.2°F, 33.6°F, 33.3°F, 27.5°F, 8.5°F respectively.

Step2: Calculate differences from 0°F

For May: $|14.9 - 0|=14.9$; for June: $|29.2 - 0| = 29.2$; for July: $|33.6 - 0|=33.6$; for August: $|33.3 - 0|=33.3$; for September: $|27.5 - 0|=27.5$; for October: $|8.5 - 0|=8.5$.

Step3: Compare differences

Among these positive - temperature months, October has a temperature of 8.5°F and the difference from 0°F is 8.5, which is the smallest among the positive - temperature months.

Answer:

November
