Question 988695: The average low temperature for Columbus in December 2011 was 33 degrees F (Fahrenheit). Consider this a sample of temperature measurements.
The F to C (Celsius) temperature conversion formula is:
C = (F-32) * (5/9)
Suppose the sample standard deviation of this December temperature data was 5.30 degrees F. What would be the sample standard deviation of the same temperature data in degrees C? (Hint: Check that your answer seems like a realistic possibility.)
Report your answer to 2 decimal places.
