Step-by-step solution

6 steps
  1. Calculate the annual temperature range.

    The annual temperature range is the difference between the highest and lowest monthly temperatures.
    Highest temperature = 29∘C29^\circ\text{C} (June)
    Lowest temperature = 23∘C23^\circ\text{C} (January)
    Annual temperature range = Highest temperature - Lowest temperature

    29∘C−23∘C=6∘C29^\circ\text{C} - 23^\circ\text{C} = 6^\circ\text{C}

    The annual temperature range is 6∘C\boxed{\text{6}^\circ\text{C}}.

  2. Find the mean monthly temperature.

    The mean monthly temperature is the sum of all monthly temperatures divided by the number of months (12).
    Sum of temperatures = 23+24+25+27+27+29+28+27+26+25+24+24=316∘C23+24+25+27+27+29+28+27+26+25+24+24 = 316^\circ\text{C}
    Mean monthly temperature = Sum of temperaturesNumber of months\frac{\text{Sum of temperatures}}{\text{Number of months}}

    316∘C12≈26.33∘C\frac{316^\circ\text{C}}{12} \approx 26.33^\circ\text{C}

    The mean monthly temperature is 26.33∘C\boxed{\text{26.33}^\circ\text{C}}.

  3. Determine the annual rainfall.

    The annual rainfall is the sum of all monthly rainfall amounts.
    Sum of rainfall = 5+10+33+40+60+100+75+40+30+15+5+5=418 mm5+10+33+40+60+100+75+40+30+15+5+5 = 418 \text{ mm}
    The annual rainfall is 418 mm\boxed{\text{418 mm}}.

  4. Describe the characteristics of the polygraph.

    i. It combines two types of graphs (bar graph for rainfall and line graph for temperature) on a single chart.
    ii. It uses two vertical axes (one for rainfall, one for temperature) and a common horizontal axis for months.
    iii. It allows for easy comparison and visualization of the relationship between rainfall and temperature over time.

  5. State four other steps to be followed in constructing a polygraph (apart from choosing and labeling vertical scales).

    i. Draw and label the horizontal axis (x-axis) for months.
    ii. Plot the rainfall data as bars for each month.
    iii. Plot the temperature data as points for each month and join them with a line.
    iv. Give the graph a clear and descriptive title.

  6. Give one disadvantage of this type of graph.

    • It can be complex and difficult to read if too much data is presented or if the scales are not chosen carefully, potentially leading to misinterpretation.
