Answer 2

During the 10 wk period, the rainfall amount recorded most often for City B was 1 in.

Explanation:

Given the data :

City A :

Reordered data:

0, 0.2, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 1, 1.3, 1.5, 2.5, 3

City B :

Reordered data:

0, 0, 0.1, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 1, 1, 1

Using a calculator :

Mean Rainfall for City A = 1.04

Mean rainfall for city B = 0.41

Range : maximum - minimum

City A = 3 - 0 = 3

City B = 1 - 0 = 1

Mode (most occurring) :

City A = 0.2

City B = 1

Median :

City A = 0.7

City B = 0.25

The only true conclusion in the options given that can be drawn from the data is that ;During the 10 wk period, the rainfall amount recorded most often for City B was 1 in.
