ICY WATER SETUP

What was the average for the SKIN temperature change?

A) 18 degrees F
B) 0.95 degrees F
C) 20 degrees F
D) 1.3 degrees F

Answer 1

The average for the SKIN temperature change in the ICY WATER SETUP was approximately 1.3 degrees F (Option D).

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the average temperature change, you sum up all the individual temperature changes and then divide by the total number of measurements. Assuming the individual temperature changes are ΔT₁, ΔT₂, ..., ΔTₙ, the average (ΔTₐᵥg) is given by:

ΔTₐᵥg = Σᵢ₌₁ₙ ΔTᵢ / ₙ

Without specific data or measurements provided, the calculation can't be performed explicitly. However, if you have the individual temperature changes for each trial, you would add them up and divide by the total number of trials.

For a hypothetical example, if you had temperature changes of 2, 1, and 0 degrees F for three trials, the average would be:

ΔTₐᵥg = (2 + 1 + 0) / 3 = 3 / 3 = 1 degree F

Therefore, if the average for the SKIN temperature change is approximately 1.3 degrees F, then option D is the correct answer.
