Understanding Single Station Flood Frequency Analysis in Estimating Flood Events

For the flow dataset (42-years of annual flow values) described earlier: (a) fit the normal distribution to this
data set on a normal probability paper and show computations in a tabular form, (b) fit the log-normal
distribution to this data set on a log-normal probability paper and show computations in a tabular form, (c) for
both of the fitted distributions, compute the 90% confidence limits for the fitted probability curves and also
show computations in a tabular form.
In each case as listed above predict the 100-year, 150-year, and 200-year floods and compare results and how
comparable are these results?

Analyse
For the English River with watershed area 6230 km'and located in Thunder Bay district of
Northwestern Ontario, find the median and mode-class of the discrete flow dataset as summarized
below in the table
Compute statistical parameters (mean, variance, coefficients of skewness, kurtosis, variation, and the
lag one correlation coefficient) for the discrete flow data set as summarized below in the table
(c)
Based on the assumption that the 42-year of flow data of the English River follow a normal probability
distribution (that is a theoretical distribution of flow being a continuous variable), compute the peak
flow estimates the corresponding probability of occurrence of 0.2,0.1, and 0.01.
