Question 50

Study the table below (Figure 6a), which shows wind speed data recorded across five meteorological stations during a tropical storm.

Figure 6a: Wind speed data (km/h) across five station sites

Average sustained wind speed (km/h)Peak gust speed (km/h)Minimum wind speed (km/h)
Station A112.5184.222.1
Station B124.8199.514.3
Station C118.2171.131.0
Station D135.1212.88.2
Station E120.4165.327.5

Using the data in Figure 6a, calculate the mean peak gust speed across the five stations.

Give your answer to one decimal place.

You must show all your workings below.
