You are provided that a 33-year record of peak annual flow rates was subjected to a frequency analysis. You are interested in the median value. Thus, for part
(a)What is the probability that the probability if the flow rate exceeds the median value. For part
(b) you are asked to determine the return period [based on part (a)]. In part (c), you want to know what is the probability of exceeding the median value IN ANY ONE YEAR, In part (d), based on your answer in part
(c), what is the probability that the flow rate will be less than the median value? For part
(e), you are asked to determine the probability that the peak flow in all of the next 10 years will be less than the median value (use the probability intersection of all 10 years). For part
(f), it asks for the probability that the flow rate will equal or exceed the median value at least once in the next 10 years (use probability relationships to solve). For part
(g), it asks for the probability of exceeding the median flow rate in both of the next two years (again use probability relationships to solve). In part (h), it asks for the probability of exceeding the median flow rate in Year 1, but not in year 2 (again solve using probability relationships).
