Explanation: See solution.

Practice makes perfect

Consider the given data set.

Average Precipitation (Inches)
January	1.1	July	4.0
February	1.5	August	4.4
March	2.2	September	4.2
April	3.7	October	3.5
May	5.1	November	2.1
June	5.5	December	1.8

We will analyze the data and then create a display that best represents the data. The above gives us the average precipitation of each month. Therefore, we can use a line graph to show how it changes over time.

Please note that this is only one possible way to represent the data — there are many other possible ways to do it.
