This makes no sense.  Why would you estimate the precipitation levels when the actual levels are right in front of you?  And without those values, on what basis would you estimate?

4.8 inches, 4.8 inches, 5.8 inches, 4.3 inches, 4.3 inches, and 3.6 inches

Eyeball Estimate: 4.7 inches
Rough Estimate: [(4.8+4.8+5.8+4.3+4.3+3.6)/6] inches = 4.6 inches

You tell me the Exact Value.
