A crossing track was constructed over a water channel with a total length of 1700 m and width of 40 m. If you know that the maximum flow that can be carried by the water channel is 400 m3/s over a 25-year storm event. Calculate:

a. The probability that the crossing track will flood next year.

b. The probability that the crossing track will flood at least once in the next 12 years.

c. The probability that the crossing track will not flood in the next 12 years.

d. The probability that the crossing track will flood exactly 5 times in the next 12 years. e. The probability that the crossing track will flood at least three times in the next 250 years.
