Given,

(i) Range = Maximum rainfall - Minimum rainfall

= 12.2 - 0.0

= 12.2

(ii)  We know, Arithmetic mean = \frac{sum\ of\ observations}{number\ of\ observation}

\\ = \frac{0.0+12.2+2.1+0.0+20.5+5.5+1.0}{7} \\ = \frac{41.3}{7} \\ \\ = 5.9

Therefore, mean rainfall is 5.9\ mm

(iii) Here, mean = 5.9\ mm

Mon(0.0), Wed(2.1), Thu(0.0), Sat(5.5), Sun(1.0) are less than the mean

Therefore, on 5 days, rainfall was less than the mean.
