Problem

Assume that the Cypress Creek data for the period 1951-2010 are normally distributed. Find the following.

(a) Peak flow of the 25-yr flood


(b) Peak flow of the 5-yr flood


(c) Probability that a flood will be less than or equal to 2000 cfs


(d) Return period of the 2000 cfs flood

Problem 1

Data for Cypress Creek for the period 1951-2010 are listed on the USGS website. Following the link below, create a table of yearly peak streamflows, and then rank the data. Using these data, develop a relative frequency histogram and a cumulative frequency histogram for Cypress Creek, 1951-2010. Use a class interval of 2000 cfs.
