Here are the solutions to your questions: 3. a) State ONE importance of statistics in Geography. Statistics in Geography helps in analyzing spatial patterns and relationships* between different geographical phenomena. b) Calculate the mean monthly rainfall for the year. Step 1: Sum all the monthly rainfall values. $$ \text{Total rainfall} = 45 + 55 + 120 + 210 + 180 + 95 + 70 + 85 + 110 + 160 + 190 + 75 $$ $$ \text{Total rainfall} = 1400 \text{ mm} $$ Step 2: Divide the total rainfall by the number of months (12). $$ \text{Mean monthly rainfall} = \frac{\text{Total rainfall}}{\text{Number of months}} $$ $$ \text{Mean monthly rainfall} = \frac{1400 \text{ mm}}{12} $$ $$ \text{Mean monthly rainfall} = 116.67 \text{ mm} $$ The mean monthly rainfall for the year is $\boxed{\text{116.67 mm}}$. c) Name the method of data collection used in this study. The method of data collection used is observation/measurement* (specifically, direct recording from a weather station). 4. State THREE ways in which map reading skills contribute to national development. a) Facilitating planning and development of infrastructure* such as roads, railways, and urban centers. b) Aiding in navigation and transportation* for various sectors like logistics, aviation, and maritime activities. c) Supporting disaster management and mitigation* by identifying risk areas and planning evacuation routes. 3 done, 2 left today.
