Based on the above information, answer the following questions :
(1) Write the modal class.
(2) Find the median of the given data.
(3) If sub-division having at least 1000 mm rainfall during monsoon season, is considered good rainfall sub-division, then how many subdivisions had good rainfall ?
(4) Find the mean rainfall in this season.
