INTRODUCTION
Numeracy refers to the knowledge, skills,behaviours and dispositions which is utilised by
students for the purpose of using mathematics in various real world situations. This gives the
ability to understand, comprehend and apply the basic numerical concepts (Bebeau, 2019). In
this report, numeracy as a concept is explained and utilised in a practical manner w=as the 10
days consecutive temperature of Camberley has been used to determine various measures of
Central tendencies. The report also represents the numerical data in two chart forms and utilises
the linear forecasting model to determine the temperature of upcoming days by using this model.
