he annual maximum stage height in a river channel is modeled using a Type I symptotic distribution of the largest value, with a mean value of 30 ft and a oefficient of variation of 10%. The stage height at which flooding will occur is 40 ft. What is the probability that the annual maximum stage height will exceed this level?
