The variations in wastewater flows received at a wastewater treatment facility from a small community reflect a typical diurnal pattern. The data below (as given in Table 2) represents the diurnal hourly peak factors for a typical day. The sketch representing the hourly peak factor data (as given in Table 2) is shown in Figure 1. Use the information provided to answer the following questions. Table 2 Time Hourly peak factor 12:00 AM 0.68 2:00 AM 0.78 4:00 AM 1.36 6:00 AM 1.65 8:00 AM 1.31 10:00 AM 0.85 12:00 PM 0.61 2:00 PM 0.64 4:00 PM 1.17 6:00 PM 1.43 8:00 PM 1.22 10:00 PM 0.71 12:00 AM 0.58

3.2 Determine the following statistical characteristics, which allows for better analysis of the wastewater flow rate data: (19) 3.2.1 Median 3.2.2 Mode 3.2.3 Standard Deviation 3.2.4 Coefficient of Variation 3.2.5 Coefficient of skewness 3.2.6 Coefficient of kurtosis 3.3 The typical residential peak (diurnal) water demand pattern for Johannesburg Central Business District is similar to that of the wastewater demand pattern for the CBD, but exhibits less fluctuation and is peaks with a lag of a few hours. Explain why this occurs. (3)
