The annual precipitation for the city of Houston is plotted in Fig. 2.7. The annual precipitation has a mean of 47.5 inches and standard deviation of 11.6 inches. Assume annual precipitation may be modeled by the normal (Gaussian) probability distribution. Estimate the following:

(a) the annual precipitation amount for Houston for any future year that has a 50 per cent chance of being equaled or exceeded


(b) the annual amount that has a 20 percent chance of being equaled or exceeded


(c)  the probability that the annual precipitation in any year will equal or exceed 62 inches


(d) the probability that the precipitation in any year will be less than 38 inches


(e) the probability that the precipitation in any year will be between 38 and 62 inches
