What is the probability that the maximum 24 hour depth

Reference no: EM13304792

A series of maximum 24 hour duration rainfall depths observed each year during a long period at a gage station has a mean of 125 mm and a standard deviation of 37 mm. Using the Gumbel probability function, estimate the probability that a maximum 24 hour depth in any year will exceed 160 mm. What is the probability that the maximum 24 hour depth will exceed 125 mm?
