a) The flow in a river can be modeled as a log-normal
distribution. From the data, it was estimated that, the probability
that the flow exceeds 862 cfs is 50% and the probability that it
exceeds 100 cfs is 90%. Let X denote the flow in cfs in the river.
What is the mean of log (to the base 10) of X? Please report your

The flow in a river can be modeled as a log-normal distribution.
From the data, it was estimated that, the probability that the flow
exceeds 1018 cfs is 50% and the probability that it exceeds 100 cfs
is 90%. Let X denote the flow in cfs in the river. What is the mean
of log (to the base 10) of X?
