The figure below shows the histogram of wind events in an area over the last 100 years where the wind speed exceeded 100 km/hr. You are required to calculate the following based on the given histogram : (i) Probability of exceedence for a wind event where the wind speed exceeds 150 km/hr. (ii) Return period for a wind event where the wind speed exceeds 150 km/hr. Note - an event should be included in your calculation only when it is exceeded. your ANSWERS to this question in the following section: Provide Answer below.
