Determine the Flood Frequency Curve for Cache Creek by plotting the “Recurrence Interval” against “Peak Discharge” on the chart below (note that the Recurrence Interval scale is logarithmic). (Hint: Your plot of data points should form a nearly straight line, so first plot the three largest floods, and then the three smallest—the rest of your points will line up along this trend.) Using a ruler, draw a straight line through the center of your plot, trying to have as many data points below the line as above.
