Question: Example 7 . 2 . Appendix Bcontains a listing of the peak discharges on the Cumberland River at Cumberland Falls. Kentucky. Beginning in 1 9

Example 7.2. Appendix Bcontains a listing of the peak discharges on the Cumberland River at Cumberland Falls. Kentucky. Beginning in 1934 the data consists of a partial duration series. In this problem only the data from 1934 through 1970 are used.
a) Plot the annual series and partial duration series on lognormal probability paper.
b) Plot the "best" fitting lognormal distribution of the annual series on the plot of part a.
c) Plot the expected partial duration series frequency distribution on the plot of part a assuming the annual series follows the lognormal distribution.
d) Plot the annual series on normal probability paper. Draw in the "best" fitting normal distribution.
e) Plot the annual serics on extreme value type I probability paper. Draw in the "best" litting extreme value type I distribution.
i) Compute the 100-year peak flow based on the annual series assuming the data follows the (1) nomial. (2) lognormal.(3) extreme value type 1.(4) P'arson type ..
Example 7 . 2 . Appendix Bcontains a listing of
