WILL GIVE 100 POINTS PLZZ HELP! Patty’s Parasols recorded the monthly rainfall and their umbrella sales for an entire year. The following table shows the inches of rainfall and the number of umbrellas the store sold each month. The relationship between the inches of rainfall and umbrella sales can be modeled using a linear function. Month Jan. Feb. Mar. Apr. May Jun. Jul. Aug. Sept. Oct. Nov. Dec.
Rainfall (in.) 2.5 3.1 4.0 4.3 3.6 2.4 1.2 0.6 1.5 1.4 1.1 2.6
Umbrella sales 132 140 162 170 156 103 98 87 84 78 110 125

(a) Using technology, determine the correlation coefficient for the data to the nearest hundredth. Explain the steps you used.
(b) What does the correlation coefficient for the data indicate about the direction and strength of the linear association between the monthly rainfall and the number of umbrellas sold?

Step-by-step explanation:

Gather the monthly rainfall data for the desired location from a website such as the National Climatic Data Center. Because of year-to-year fluctuations in precipitation, you'll want to gather at least 10 consecutive years of data for any one month to give you a better idea of the location's monthly average.

Add together all of the monthly rainfall totals in your sample data. You'll be adding measurements in inches because rainfall is generally measured in inches in the United States.

Knowing the average monthly rainfall for a location is helpful when you're packing for a trip or considering relocating your family. Or maybe you just want to know how much it rains in your back yard. Finding the average monthly rainfall in any location is a relatively simple and straightforward calculation if you have the proper data.

Calculating From Provided Data

Gather the monthly rainfall data for the desired location from a website such as the National Climatic Data Center. Because of year-to-year fluctuations in precipitation, you'll want to gather at least 10 consecutive years of data for any one month to give you a better idea of the location's monthly average.

Add together all of the monthly rainfall totals in your sample data. You'll be adding measurements in inches because rainfall is generally measured in inches in the United States.

Divide by the number of years in your data set to arrive at the average monthly rainfall for any location. An example of the complete calculation for a 10-year average monthly rainfall should look like this: 3.2 (inches of rain) + 3.1 + 2.9 + 3.7 + 2.9 + 4.1 + 3.5 + 2.8 + 2.9 + 1.7 = 30.8 inches of rain, divided by 10 years = 3.08 inches of average monthly rainfall.

Create Your Own Data

Set up a rain gauge in any open location where trees or the overhang on a house or other building won't affect how much rain is gathered. You can buy a rain gauge at websites such as Ambient Weather.

Take daily rainfall readings at the same time each day. You must gather the data every 24 hours to have accurate information.

Complete the calculation in Section 1 at the end of the month to derive the average rainfall for your location.

Continue to compile rainfall data for a longer period of time to arrive at a more precise average monthly rainfall total for your location.
