Assuming that the following flood data follows a Gumbel distribution, plot the data on a Gumbel probability scale (Flood magnitude Vs Reduced Variate, y) and fit a linear trend to your plot. Determine the Flood magnitude of ARI (return period) equal to 75 years from your fitted linear trend and compare with that from the equation;
