Assuming that the Great River has experienced a flood of 5,120 m/s in 2020, in
the same 147 years of record, recalculate the recurrence intervals. Add this
flood to Table 3 below and complete the missing information. Create an
appropriate caption for the table. Make sure to select the proper placement
for the caption (Above? Below? To the right?). Ensure that your caption begins
with "Table 3:". Show your calculations.

- The flood recurrence interval is calculated using the following equation: T = (n + 1)/m T = the recurrence interval in number of years n = the number of years of record m = the rank of the flood (the largest flood on record is ranked 1) Complete the missing information for Table 2, with the assumption that these five years represent the five largest floods in 147 years of records. Create an appropriate caption for the table. Make sure to select the proper placement for the caption (Above? Below? To the right?). Ensure that your caption begins with "Table 2:".
