Question: Cold weather. A meteorologist preparing a talk about global warming compiled a list of weekly low temperatures (in degrees Fahrenheit) he observed at his southern Florida home last year.

Assuming that he correctly listed all the other temperatures, explain how this error will affect these summary statistics:

a) measures of center: mean and median.

b) measures of spread: range, IQR, and standard deviation.
