Problem
The observed annual peak discharges for a stream gaging station are shown in the table
below for the period from 1982 to 1997. The peak discharge follows a log-Pearson type-3
distribution with the station skew. Determine the peak discharges, 5% (upper) confidence
limits and 95% (lower) confidence limits for the 2-, 5-, 10-, 25, 50-, and 100-year floods.
