Chris 7& Eve,
I hope you will read my post on this, because you are both missing the
point. Donna

So Chris, does that mean that the temperature was the same each day
through out May? There is no other explanation for adding up 31 numbers
and dividing by 31 to get the highest. 80 X 31 divided bt 31 = 80, but
80X 30 plus 82 divided by 31= 80.06 which is not the highest temperture.
Oh, and thanks for the vocab lesson. I always get that stuff mixed up,
but I do know my math regardless. ;) Eve
