The dot plots show rainfall totals for several spring storms in highland areas and lowland areas.

What is the mean rainfall for the highland storms?

What is the mean rainfall for the lowland storms?

1 answer

To calculate the mean rainfall for the highland and lowland storms, follow these steps:

  1. List the data for each area: Add up all the rainfall totals from the dot plots for both highland and lowland areas.

  2. Count the number of storms in each area to determine how many data points you have.

  3. Calculate the mean by using the formula:

    \[ \text{Mean} = \frac{\text{Sum of rainfall totals}}{\text{Number of storms}} \]

Since I don't have access to the actual dot plots or their data, I can't calculate the specific values. If you provide the rainfall totals for both the highland and lowland storms, I can help you compute the mean for each.
