The hail events in a certain region are classified by the diameter of the largest hail stone measured in the event: small (0–2 cm), medium (3–5 cm), and large ( > 5 cm). The graph shows the distribution of classifications of all of the hail events in this region over the span of 5 years.
Select from each drop-down menu the option that creates the most accurate statement based on the information provided.
Of the years reflected in the graph, the year when this region had the greatest total number of hail events was the year when this region had the greatest number of hail events and the least number of hail events.

Of the years reflected in the graph, the year when this region had the greatest total number of hail events was the year when this region had the greatest number of _____ hail events and the least number of ___ hail events.
First we will quickly check which year had the maximum number of hail events.
Year 4 seems to have the maximum so check that first. It has 10 + 4 + 1 = 15 events.
Year 1 has 6 + 3 + 2 = 11 events
Year 2 has 2 more than 11 and year 3 has a similar number too. Year 5 has fewer too.
So year 4 had maximum number of hail events.
This year saw the greatest number of small events (blue bar) and the least number of large events (black bar)
ANSWER - small, large

1. We are asked to fill in the blanks, however to do so, we must first find the year with the greatest total number of hail events.
2. Let's calculate the total number of hail events for all 5 years:
- Year 1. Small + Medium + Large \(= 6 + 3 + 2 = 11\).
- Year 2. Small + Medium + Large \(= 6 + 5 + 2 = 13\).
- Year 3. Small + Medium + Large \(= 5 + 3 + 3 = 11\).
- Year 4. Small + Medium + Large \(= 10 + 4 + 1 = 15\).
- Year 5. Small + Medium + Large \(= 7 + 2 + 3 = 12\).
Here, year 4 clearly has the largest amount.
3. During year 4 the greatest amount of hail events were small (10) and the least were large (1).
4. Our answer will be: D1 - small and D2 - large.
--------------------------------------
In practice, you can notice how the spike for year 4 (small hail events) is so large and the other two hail events are comparable, so years 1-3 can be ignored. This would mean that only crucial calculations are for years 4 and 5.
