The project and homework were only mentioned because they showed a similar trend in data, the question assumes you can find the answers from the graph somehow.

Question 3 (12 pts) The following plot shows a timeseries of daily rainfall over the course of 9 years (days without rain are omitted). Recall that a n-year storm or a n-year flood is derived from ranking the maximum recorded value for each year, as we did for Project 3 and HW 8. 40 .. Precipitation (mm) . . . . 10 0 2009 2010 2011 2012 2014 2015 2016 2017 2013 Year a) How big is the 10-year storm? b) How big is the 2-year storm? c) What is the probability that the largest storm from 2017 will be exceeded in 2018?
