Question: In a flood prediction model, total rainfall (Total) in mm on a catchment area during storms is given by the product of rainfall intensity (Intensity)


In a flood prediction model, total rainfall (Total) in mm on a catchment area during storms is given by the product of rainfall intensity (Intensity) in mm per hour and storm duration (Duration) in minutes. According to an analyst's model, this is represented as: Total=IntensityxDurationTotal=IntensityxDuration Assume that Intensity is normally distributed with a mean of 4.0 and standard deviation of 0.8, and that Duration has the following discrete distribution: CE 1 35 Joos e What would be the simulated value of Intensity, in mm per hour, corresponding to a random number draw of 0.67 and correct to two decimal places? What would be the simulated value of Duration corresponding to a random number draw of 0.9? The formula for Total Rainfall in the analyst's model has an error. Describe the error and correct the formula
