Official Explanation

The mean maximum temperature for the cities in South America was greater than that for the cities in Oceania.

Sorting on Continent reveals that, when temperatures are measured in °C, the mean maximum temperature for the 3 cities listed in South America was 1/3 (29 + 38 + 29), or 32, while the mean maximum temperature for the 2 cities listed in Oceania was 1/2 (25 + 29), or 27. Since 32 > 27, the mean maximum temperature for the cities in South America was greater than that for the cities in Oceania.

The correct answer is Yes.

At least one city reporting fine weather had a maximum temperature less than 0°C.

Sorting on Weather conditions reveals 7 cities reporting fine weather, for which the least maximum temperature reported was 5°C. Thus none of the 7 cities reported a maximum temperature less than 0°C.

The correct answer is No.

For the Asian cities, the median minimum temperature was 12°C.

Sorting on Continent reveals that there are eight Asian cities listed. When the minimum temperatures for the eight cities are ordered from least to greatest, the median minimum temperature is equal to the arithmetic mean of the fourth and fifth temperatures in the list. Using the Continent sort, the first five temperatures in the list (in °C) are -3, -3, 3, 3, and 21, so the median minimum temperature is therefore 12

The correct answer is Yes.
