Answer 13

its okay fluttershy i didnt see the chart that you made. i havent had sleep but i can try.
the graph may be misleading because it, it rises and falls as if its calculating each month in between the years when it is actually just being recorded each year.

Answer 14

the chart is

year: 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011
rainfall: 4.5 4.4 4.1 4.2 3.9 4.0

Answer 15

and then I got this

Answer 16

`"A : The graph is very misleading as it indicates that the rainfall is declining by more than a half every two successive years or so. Where as in the original table, all the values are around 4."`
