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:".
