Question

1)In the summer, humidity affects the actual temperature, making a person feel hotter due to a reduced heat loss from the skin caused by higher humidity. The temperature-humidity index, heat index (Th), is what the temperature would have to be with no humidity in order to give the same heat effect. One index often used is given by

Th = 1.98T - 1.09(1 - H)(T - 58) - 56.9

where T = the air temperature in degrees Fahrenheit, and H = the relative humidity.

Find the heat index associated with the following data:
