What is the median monthly rainfall amount?

1 answer

To find the median monthly rainfall amount, we first need to arrange the values in ascending order:

0.43, 0.46, 0.50, 0.74, 0.78, 1.11, 1.89, 2.18, 2.27, 2.35, 2.73, 2.85

Since there are 12 data points, the median will be the average of the 6th and 7th values when arranged in ascending order. So, the median is:

(1.11 + 1.89) / 2 = 1.50

Therefore, the median monthly rainfall amount in Honolulu, Hawaii is 1.50 inches.
