There are 36 out of 347 months that had no days with 0.5 inches or more or precipitation.
There is a 10% of months that had no days with 0.5 inches or more of precipitation.
We are 95% confident that 7% to 13% of months have less than 0.5 inches of precipitation.
For New Hampshire weather this data makes sense, since New Hampshire is located in Northern USA and gets lots of snow and rain.
Now consider the variable EMXT (extreme maximum temperature). Construct a 99% confidence interval for the extreme maximum temperature for a month. Does this analysis make sense?
99% confidence interval results: μ : Mean of variable
