13. You've probably heard that Hurricane Harvey was a 100+ year storm event. However, your current graph doesn't show that. In your data, what is the recurrence interval for the flooding from Hurricane Harvey, and why isn't it over 100? 14. Using your trendline equation, we can calculate what the discharge of a 100year event should be. You know what m, x, and b are in the equation, just substitute the values. What is the discharge for the 100year event based on the trendline? 15. The discharge in Buffalo Bayou for Hurricane Harvey was 32,600 cfs, which is very different from the 100year discharge you calculated in question 14. So, what is the true recurrence interval for a discharge of 32,600 based on your equation? For this question, we'll need to solve for x in the line equation instead of y because now we know what y {32,600 cfs} is and need to figure out :4. You can manipulate the line equation variables to isolate x; we've done this on several previous assignments. Enter this equation in excel =exp((yb)/m) and substitute the values accordingly.
