The following parameters were computed for a stream near Lincoln, Nebraska:

Period of record = 1980–1999, inclusive


Mean annual flood = 7000 cfs


Standard deviation of annual floods = 1000 cfs


Skew coefficient of annual floods = 1.0


Mean of logarithms (base 10) of annual floods = 3.52


Standard deviation of logarithms = 0.50


Coefficient of skew of logarithms = 2.0

Determine the magnitude of the 25-year flood by assuming that the peaks follow a (a) log–Pearson type III distribution, (b) Gumbel distribution, and (c) lognormal distribution.
