Answer

a) The mean of the temperature will be lower, and the median will not change. Because the incorrect temperature is still the lowest temperature, the median is based on only position. b) The range and standard deviation will increase, because the incorrect temperature is more extreme than the correct temperature, and IQR will not change.
