- Visualize that two tributaries A and B at their confluence form a river C. Statistical properties of flow data for tributaries A and B indicate that tributary A has a yearly discharge rate smaller than its mean flow rate (?̅?) in 50% of the years while tributary B has a yearly discharge rate smaller than its mean flow rate (?̅?) in 60% of the time. In 70% of the years in which tributary A has a discharge rate smaller than its mean discharge rate (?̅?), tributary B also has a discharge rate smaller than its mean discharge rate (?̅?). Compute the probability that (i) both tributaries have a discharge rate smaller than their mean discharge rates, (ii) at least one tributary has a discharge rate smaller than its mean discharge rate, (iii) tributary A has a discharge rate smaller than its mean discharge rate given that tributary B has a discharge rate smaller than its mean discharge rate, (iv) at least one tributary has discharge rate higher than its mean discharge rate, and (v) probability…arrow_forwardMatch the coefficient of determination to the scatter diagram.
