events with return periods well beyond the observed flood events. This technique is the standard technique used by Federal Agencies in the United States. How is it calculated? The Log-Pearson Type III distribution is calculated using the general equation: where x is the flood discharge value of some specified probability, is the average of the log x discharge values, K is a frequency factor, and is the standard deviation of the log x values. The frequency factor K is a function of the skewness

discovery was confirmed as the Higgs boson on March 14 this year, bringing to an end to a 50-year search. The discovery of the Higgs Boson is very important because it is said to be the missing link in our understanding of the universe, known as the Standard Model. It has also led to Professor Higgs becoming the only person ever to have a fundamental particle named after him. (Wilson, 2013).It was regarded as the “God Particle” before but many physicists did not like the way it was called. Results to

with these movies, there are some outliers. Motion pictures such as Star Wars: Episode III, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, War of the Worlds, and Batman Begins can all be considered high performance outliers. With the four variables, their standard deviations are $18.87 million, $63.16 million, 1378 offices, and 6.38 weeks, respectively. All of these movies performed much better than the other movies on the list. Another reason for this is is there are many low performing movies; however

20%. Since all of the expected values for the distributions were over the standard values, the data suggested that the color distribution was not consistent with the advertised distribution. However, another possibility is that the color distributions truly are not accurate and were ball-parked for curious customers. 3. M&M Variability Analysis Through the use of a histogram and confidence interval of the standard deviation, the variance in the weight of individual M&Ms was analyzed
