Question

A SAS data set called Temper contains variables F1-F30, which represent 30 temperatures in degrees Fahrenheit. Create a new data set called Temper2 that contains only the variables C1-C30, which are these temperatures converted to degrees Celsius. The Fahrenheit to Celsius conversion is _______.

a) C = (F - 32) * 5/9
b) C = (F + 32) * 5/9
c) C = (F - 32) * 9/5
d) C = (F + 32) * 9/5

Answer 1

To convert temperatures from degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius, use the equation C = (F - 32) * 5/9. Apply this equation to each temperature value in the original data set Temper to create the new data set Temper2 with temperatures in degrees Celsius.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert temperatures from degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Celsius, you can use the equation:

C = (F - 32) * 5/9

To create the new data set Temper2 with temperatures in degrees Celsius, you can apply this equation to each temperature value in the original data set Temper.
