The kelvin is a unit of measurement for temperature; 0 K is absolute zero, the temperature at which all thermal motion ceases. Conversion from Fahrenheit to Kelvin is given by K=× (F-32)+273. The average daily temperature in Monrovia, Liberia, is 78.35°F with a standard deviation of 6.3°F. If a scientist converts Monrovia daily temperatures to the Kelvin scale, what will be the new mean and standard deviation? (A) Mean, 25.75 K; standard deviation, 3.5 K (B) Mean, 231.75 K; standard deviation, 3.5 K (C) Mean, 298.75 K; standard deviation, 3.5 K (D) Mean, 298.75 K; standard deviation, 258.72 K (E) Mean, 298.75 K; standard deviation, 276.5 K
