1) The table below shows the annual rainfall (mm) in two regions: A and B from 1980 to 1989
Years => 1980 - 1981 - 1982 - 1983 - 1984 - 1985 - 1986 - 1987 - 1988 - 1989
Rainfol in Region A 725 210 560 158 265 537 224 521 188 212
Rainfol in Region B 420 381 314 425 403 263 340 418 310 226
a) Which of the two regions receives more rainfall on average than the other?
b) Which is more suitable for rain fed agriculture (less variability in rainfall)?
