The annual peak flow data were recorded between 1980 and 2021 at a particular section of a river. Annual peak flows have been transformed into log values and the following statistics are obtained. Mean of log transformed peak annual flows = 3.525 Standard deviation of log transformed peak annual flows = 0.178 Skewness of log transformed peak annual flows = -0.235 a. Estimate the 2% AEP peak discharge by assuming that the annual peak flow data follows Log-Pearson type III distribution. b. Estimate the 2% AEP peak discharge by assuming the peak flow data are lognormally distributed. c. Compare the peak discharge obtained from two methods (l.e. Log-Pearson type III distribution and Lognormal distribution).

The 60-year record shows that the annual maximum discharges for a river have a mean of 30,000 cfs, a standard deviation of 28,000 cfs, and a skewness coefficient of 3.15. If the annual maximum discharge can be described by the Extreme-value Type I distribution, what is the probability that the annual maximum discharge exceeds 100,000 cfs at least once in next 10 years? (Note: The sample size is 60. Conduct interpolation using exceedance probabilities or cumulative probabilities.)
