Question

The daily rainfall data for a week is shown. On which day is the rainfall the highest?

\begin{tabular}{|c|c|} \hline Weekdays & Inches of Rainfall \\ \hline Monday & \\ \hline Tuesday & \\ \hline Wednesday \\ \hline Thursday & \\ \hline Friday & \\ \hline Saturday & \\ \hline Sunday & \\ \hline \end{tabular}

• A. Monday
• B. Thursday
• C. Sunday
• D. Both Sunday and Monday

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Thursday

On observing the graph,

No. of raindrops on Monday = 10
No. of raindrops on Tuesday = 06
No. of raindrops on Wednesday = 08
No. of raindrops on Thursday = 11
No. of raindrops on Friday = 07
No. of raindrops on Saturday = 04
No. of raindrops on Sunday = 09

From the above, we see that Thursday had the heaviest rainfall.
