Draw a histogram of DP05. Does DP05 have an approximately normal distribution? Does it have an obvious skew (left or right) and any obvious outliers? If an analysis requires that DP05 have a normal distribution, do you think that your results will be valid?
Now consider the variable EMXP (extreme maximum precipitation). That is the extreme precipitation in each month, in tenths of a millimeter. For example, a value of 300 in EMXP means that it rained 30 millimeters on the rainiest day of that month.
