The daily rainfall during a two week period in May was: 1, 0.5, 0.3, 0.3, 0, 0, 1.2, 3, 0.3, 1.1, 0.7, 2, 1.3, 2 inches. What was the mode of rainfall during this two week period?

1) 0
2) 0.3
3) 0.85
4) 1

Answer 1

The mode of the rainfall during the two-week period is 0.3 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the mode of the rainfall during the two-week period, we need to determine the value that appears most frequently. Let's list the rainfall values:

1, 0.5, 0.3, 0.3, 0, 0, 1.2, 3, 0.3, 1.1, 0.7, 2, 1.3, 2 inches

From the list, we can see that the value 0.3 appears three times, which is more often than any other value. Therefore, the mode of the rainfall during the two-week period is 0.3 inches (Option 2).
