Answer:

I do not have access to Annexure A and Annexure B, so I cannot collect the data, draw the frequency table or pie chart, or answer the last question. However, I can provide a general explanation of how to calculate the mean, mode, median, and range from a set of data.

To find the mean (average) of a set of data, add up all the values in the set and divide by the number of values. For example, if the maximum temperatures of the 30 days are:

25, 28, 29, 27, 26, 30, 31, 32, 29, 27, 26, 24, 23, 25, 28, 30, 32, 33, 34, 31, 29, 28, 27, 26, 25, 24, 23, 21, 20, 22

The sum of the values is:

25 + 28 + 29 + 27 + 26 + 30 + 31 + 32 + 29 + 27 + 26 + 24 + 23 + 25 + 28 + 30 + 32 + 33 + 34 + 31 + 29 + 28 + 27 + 26 + 25 + 24 + 23 + 21 + 20 + 22 = 813

Dividing by the number of values (30), we get:

Mean = 813/30 = 27.1

To find the mode of a set of data, identify the value that occurs most frequently. In this example, there are two values that occur most frequently, 27 and 29, so the data has two modes.

To find the median of a set of data, arrange the values in order from smallest to largest and find the middle value. If there are an even number of values, take the mean of the two middle values. In this example, the values in ascending order are:

20, 21, 22, 23, 23, 24, 24, 25, 25, 26, 26, 27, 27, 27, 28, 28, 29, 29, 29, 30, 30, 31, 31, 32, 32, 33, 34

There are 30 values, so the median is the 15th value, which is 28.

To find the range of a set of data, subtract the smallest value from the largest value. In this example, the smallest value is 20 and the largest value is 34, so the range is:

Range = 34 - 20 = 14

To create a frequency table for the maximum temperature data, we need to group the data into intervals and count the number of values that fall into each interval. For example, we could use the following intervals:

20-24, 25-29, 30-34

The frequency table would look like this:

Interval | Frequency

20-24 | 4

25-29 | 18

30-34 | 8

To calculate the size of the angles for the pie chart, we need to find the total frequency (30) and divide 360° by the total frequency to get the proportion of each interval in degrees. For example, for the interval 25-29:

Proportion = Frequency/Total frequency = 18/30 = 0.6

Angle = Proportion * 360° = 0.6 * 360° = 216°

We can repeat this calculation for each interval to obtain the angles for the pie chart.

In terms of the last question, it is not clear what is meant by "which data collection best describe the maximum and why?". If you could provide more context or clarification, I would be happy to try to help.
