Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A region has recorded the following rainfall amounts (in mm): 200, 150, 300, 100, 350, 500, 250. How would you use the Log Pearson Type III distribution to estimate the return period for the maximum rainfall amount?

💡 Hint: Ensure you first rank the data correctly and apply the formula.

Question 2

Describe how varying skewness in rainfall data can impact the predictions made using the Log Pearson Type III distribution.

💡 Hint: Reflect on how 'normal' distribution does not always apply in real life.
