Explanation:

Step1: Observe the histogram shape

The bars on the left - hand side (0 - 1 inches and 1.01 - 2 inches) are taller than the bars on the right - hand side for the intervals 4.01 - 5 inches and 5.01 - 6 inches. The data is not symmetric.

Step2: Analyze the distribution of data

The majority of the bars (higher frequencies) are in the intervals 0 - 1 inches and 1.01 - 2 inches, which means the majority of the monthly rainfall amounts was less than 2.01 inches. The data is skewed, showing that the majority of the monthly rainfall amounts was less than 2.01 or greater than 4 inches.

Answer:

The data is skewed, showing that the majority of the monthly rainfall amounts was less than 2.01 or greater than 4 inches.
