2 dot plots. The highlands have data points between 2 and 32, and the lowlands have data points between 2 and 32.

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

What is the range of rainfall for the highland storms?

What is the range of rainfall for the lowland storms?

1 answer

To determine the range of rainfall for both highland and lowland storms using dot plots, you need to find the minimum and maximum values in each data set.

  1. Highland Storms:

    • Minimum value: 2
    • Maximum value: 32
    • Range: Maximum - Minimum = 32 - 2 = 30
  2. Lowland Storms:

    • Minimum value: 2
    • Maximum value: 32
    • Range: Maximum - Minimum = 32 - 2 = 30

So, both the highland and lowland storms have a range of rainfall of 30 units.
