A precipitation station X was inoperative for some time during which a storm occurred. The storm totals at three stations A, B and C surrounding X, were respectively 5.56, 3.90and 2.97 cm. The normal annual precipitation amounts at stations X, A, B and C are respectively 63.4, 73.5, 53.6 and 37.2 cm. Estimate the storm precipitation for station X.
