Summary
Imagine that you have found a new planet and you are able to measure the temperature of the planet at various locations on the surface of the planet: 10 in the northern half of the planet and 10 in the southern half of the planet. The northern data and the southern data show opposite patterns. You have now been asked to characterize the temperature of the planet over one year.
