Use the USGS regression equation (3-82) to compute the 5-yr peak flow for a 4-ac Tallahassee catchment

Question:

Use the USGS regression equation (3-82) to compute the 5-yr peak flow for a 4-ac Tallahassee catchment that is 95% impervious. Compare your answer with the value computed in Example 6.6. The reason for the large discrepancy is that the regression equations were developed for much larger catchments (the smallest being 0.21 mi2)?
