In a particular region, meteorologists have been studying historical rainfall patterns to understand the climate changes over the past centuries. Data from various locations in the region provided a mean annual rainfall of 1,302 mm with a standard deviation of 23 mm. The distribution of rainfall was mound-shaped and symmetrical about the mean.
