Answered by GPT-4o mini
To find the approximate difference between the means of the two data sets (Highlands and Lowlands), you simply subtract the mean rainfall of the Lowlands from the mean rainfall of the Highlands.

Mean rainfall for Highlands: 15.27 mm
Mean rainfall for Lowlands: 12.05 mm

Difference = Mean of Highlands - Mean of Lowlands
Difference = 15.27 mm - 12.05 mm
Difference = 3.22 mm

Rounding to the nearest whole number, the difference is approximately 3 mm.
