Question

The table shows the normal and extreme high and low temperatures, and the normal and maximum amounts of precipitation, for each month of the year at the same location. The numbers are rounded, so identical numbers may represent slightly different quantities.

This Table Analysis question is a TIME SAVER question if you translate the dataset carefully. Watch the video solution and realize these two points:
 
 Reading the dataset with the intent of ‘owning the dataset’ is essential for you to be able to map the column definition in the text part of the dataset with the column names in the table. If you do not do that properly, then you may be lost while reading the individual statements in the question. 
 Each statement needs to be translated slow by applying strategic pausing technique so that you do not get entangled in the word play of words such as minimum, least, greatest, etc.

By reading slowly, you can make this question a time saver question!
Happy learning!

Official Explanation

RO1

Sorting the table on Normal daily min shows that July, Sept., and Aug. have the greatest normal daily minimum temperatures. Inspecting the Normal daily max column shows that these are also the three months with the greatest normal daily maximum temperatures.

The correct answer is Yes.

RO2

Sorting the table on Maximum precipitation shows that Nov., Dec., and Jan. have the greatest maximum precipitation. However, sorting on Extreme high shows that the months with the least extreme high temperatures are Jan., Dec., and Mar.

The correct answer is No.

RO3

Sorting the table on Normal precipitation shows that the four months with the least normal precipitation are July, Aug., June, and Sept. Sorting again on Normal daily min shows that the same four months have the greatest normal daily minimum temperatures.

The correct answer is Yes.

bM22 · Answer

1. The three months with the greatest normal daily minimum temperatures also have the greatest normal daily maximum temperatures.

We can easily infer from the table:
The three months with the greatest normal daily minimum temperatures are: July, Aug, Sept.
Now, the 3 months having the greatest normal daily maximum temperatures: July, Aug Sept.

Answer Yes.

2. The three months with the greatest maximum amounts of precipitation also have the least extreme-high temperatures.

The three months with the greatest maximum amounts of precipitation : Jan, Dec, Nov.
Now the months with the least extreme-high temperatures: Jan, Dec, March.

Since, Nov is not in the list so,
 Answer No.

3. The four months with the least normal amounts of precipitation also have the greatest normal daily minimum temperatures.

The four months with the least normal amounts of precipitation: July, Aug, June, Sept.
The four months with the greatest normal daily minimum temperatures: Aug, July, Sept., June

So Answer is Yes.

Apt0810 · Answer

1)Yes,The three months with greatest normal daily minimum temperature are July(10.6),Aug(11.1), September (10.6),while the three months with greatest normal daily maximum temperature are July(17.8),Aug(17.8),Sept(18.3).So both categories are same.

2)No,The three months with the greatest maximum amounts of precipitation are Jan(50.8),Dec(48.3),Nov(45.7)
Now the months with the least extreme-high temperatures are Jan,Dec and March

3)Yes,The four months with the least normal amounts of precipitation are July,Aug,June and September,while The four months with the greatest normal daily minimum temperatures are June,July,Aug & September.So the results in both categories are same

Does anyone have a screenshot of this question?
Since the value of Extreme Temp in Nov is missing, can we just ignore this blank and confidently choose Jan, Dec, and Mar as our targets?
That's not make sense.

Hi, I suppose the last column header is incorrectly typed. I believe it is not 'Maximum per
capitation (cm)' but rather it is 'Maximum precipitation (cm)'
