Accepted Solution

A:
the choices for the question are as follows;
A. During the 10 wk period, the rainfall amount recorded most often for City B was 1 in.
this is correct. rainfall of 1 inch was recorded on three days so it was the most often recorded rainfall. 

B. The range between the maximum and minimum values for City B is greater than the range between the maximum and minimum values for City A.
range for city A - 3 - 0 = 3
range for city B - 1- 0 = 1
this statement is incorrect as the range for city B is lesser than the range for city A.

C. For the ten weeks, City A received less rainfall, on average, than City B
the average rainfalls for;
City A - 1.04
city B - 0.41
city A received more rainfall on average than city B on average therefore this statement is incorrect.

D. The median for City A is less than the median for City B. 
city A - 0.7
city B - 0.25
median for city A is greater than median for city B therefore this statement is incorrect.

Therefore the conclusion that can be drawn from the data is During the 10 wk period, the rainfall amount recorded most often for City B was 1 in. - Statement A
