For the flow dataset (42-years of annual flow values) described earlier: (a) fit the normal distribution to this data set on a normal probability paper and show computations in a tabular form, (b) fit the log-normal distribution to this data set on a log-normal probability paper and show computations in a tabular form, (c) for both of the fitted distributions, compute the 90% confidence limits for the fitted probability curves and also show computations in a tabular form. In each case as listed above predict the 100-year, 150-year, and 200-year floods and compare results and how comparable are these results? please solve this question becuase i am struggling a lot

Question

For the flow dataset (42-years of annual flow values) described earlier:

(a) fit the normal distribution to this data set on a normal probability paper and show computations in a tabular form,

(b) fit the log-normal distribution to this data set on a log-normal probability paper and show computations in a tabular form,

(c) for both of the fitted distributions, compute the 90% confidence limits for the fitted probability curves and also show computations in a tabular form.
In each case as listed above predict the 100-year, 150-year, and 200-year floods and compare results and how comparable are these results?
