The temperature at #9am# is equivalent to #T(0)#, ie #0# hours after 9am, and given by

#T(0)=60+13sin((pi(0))/12)=60^@F#.

The temperature at #9 p m # is #T(12)#, ie #12# hours after 9am, and given by

#T(12)=60+13sin((pi(12))/12)=60^@F#.

We may now apply the formula

#barT(t)=1/(12-0)int_0^12(60+13sin((pit)/12))dt#

#=1/12[60t-(12(13))/picos((pit)/12)]_0^12#

#=1/12[720+156/pi+156/pi]#

#=68.276^@F#
