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.

Substitute 5.30 for F in the formula and do the arithmetic.
