Probability given Return Period Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Probability = 1/Return Period
p = 1/T_r
This formula uses 2 Variables

Variables Used

Probability - Probability of occurrence of an event (x ≥ xt), of how likely an event is to occur, or how likely it is that a proposition is true.
Return Period - Return Period [Years] is an average time or an estimated average time between events such as earthquakes, floods, landslides, or a river discharge flows to occur.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Return Period: 150 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

p = 1/T_r --> 1/150

Evaluating ... ...

p = 0.00666666666666667

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.00666666666666667 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.00666666666666667 ≈ 0.006667 <-- Probability

What is Log-Pearson Type III distribution?

The Log-Pearson Type III distribution is a statistical technique for fitting frequency distribution data to predict the design flood for a river at some site. Once the statistical information is calculated for the river site, a frequency distribution can be constructed.
