Question

In California, we need more rain to sustain the health of our natural environment, argriculture, and economic. A group of statistics students in Oxnard College recorded the amount of rain during 2016-2017 school year, measuring the intensity by the inches of rain, and the results were:

Inches of Rain	1	2	3	4	5	6
Frequency	4	1	2	4	4	4

The mean (¯xx¯) rain intensity:  inches (Please show your answer to 1 decimal place.)

The median rain intensity:  inches

The mode rain intensity:  inches (Please separate your answers by ',' in the bimodal situation. Enter DNE if there is no mode or if there are more than two modes.)

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the value that occurs most frequently in a data set. A data set may have more than one mode if multiple categories repeat an equal number of times. For example, in a data set with five item—3, 5, 5, 29, 473—the mode is 5 because it occurs twice and no other value occurs more than once. On a histogram or bar chart, the element with the highest bar represents the mode. Therefore, the mode is sometimes considered the most popular option. The mode is useful for nominal or categorical data (e.g., the most common color car that users purchase), but it is problematic for continuous data because it is more likely not to have any value that is more frequent than the other.
