Answer 2

You must take the average of the last week and of the current week dividing the sum of the temperatures given between the amount of temperatures given.
For the current week:
(65 + 73 + 73 + 74 + 73 + 75 + 71) / 7 = 72
For last week
(68 + 51 + 62 + 66 + 85 + 72 + 72) / 7 = 68
this week's medium temperature 4 degrees greater than last week's medium temperature
