Answer 1

To determine the number of cities that had less than 1 inch of rain based on the histogram, we need to look at the frequencies associated with the categories of rainfall amounts that are less than 1 inch.

From the histogram, the categories for rainfall amounts less than 1 inch are:

- 0.25 inches
- 0.50 inches
- 0.75 inches

You would look at the bar heights (frequencies) for each of these categories.

For instance, if the frequencies for these categories are as follows (you should verify the actual values from your histogram):

- **0.25 inches**: 6 cities
- **0.50 inches**: 8 cities
- **0.75 inches**: 4 cities

Then you would add these numbers together:

6 (for 0.25) + 8 (for 0.50) + 4 (for 0.75) = 18 cities.

Therefore, the number of cities that had less than 1 inch of rain would be **18** (insert the correct values based on your histogram).

Make sure to check the actual frequencies from your histogram to provide the accurate total.
