INSTRUCTIONS:
For all problems: 1) Round off to four decimal places for all calculations to be made.
2) Show complete solution for each problem.
3) Enclose final answer in a box.

PROBLEM 1
Calculate the missing rainfall data for station D for the month of September 2019 when the observed rainfall data
for the other 6 stations are given as follows:

Normal Annual Rainfall Sep 2019 rainfall

Station
(mm) (mm)
A 113 78
B 120 65
C 114 82
D 125 ?
E 120 54
F 141 90
G 138 88

PROBLEM 2
In the tabulated data in Problem 1, it was found out that there was error in each of stations F and G. What would
be the missing precipitation data in station D if the true records for F and G were 121 and 128, respectively?

PROBLEM 3
Estimate the missing precipitation data at gage A when the other rain gages have the coordinates tabulated below:

Gage Coordinates (x, y) Rainfall (mm)

A ?
B (6, 5) 90
C (-4, 3) 75
D (9, -4) 62
E (-8, 3) 58

PROBLEM 4
Using the regression method, calculate the missing precipitation for a certain rain gage station.

Annual Rainfall Monthly Rainfall

Year
(cm) (cm)
2000 100 25
2001 110 20
2002 130 15
2003 90 20
2004 140 35
2005 115 35
2006 120 40
2007 145 30

SOLUTION:

1). A ). ARITHMETIC MEAN:

PX = (78 + 65 + 82 + 54 + 90 + 88 ) / 6

PX = 457 / 6

PX = 76. 1667 mm

B ). NOMINAL RATIO

10 % OF 125 = 12.5

125 + 12.5 = 137. 5

125 – 12. 5 = 112.5

Range is 112. 5 to 137.5 : CHECK whether NA, NB, NC, ND, NE, NF is within the range. NF is out
of this range so

PX = 125/6 (78/113 + 65/120 + 82/114 + 54/120 + 90/141 + 88/128)

PX = 77.6464 mm

2).

3).

ANSWER : 76.0591 mm
