63% ?
[edit]"A hundred-year wave is a statistically projected water wave, the height of which, on average, is met or exceeded once in a hundred years for a given location. The likelihood of this wave height being attained at least once in the hundred-year period is 63%." ... if it is "on average", shouldn't the percentage be 50% then? boarders paradise (talk) 00:27, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
- You can take a look at the differences between arithmetic mean, median and average. -- Crowsnest (talk) 13:51, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
So how big are they?
[edit]Could somebody give some examples, at various locations, of how big hundred-year waves are estimated to be? 75.163.205.145 (talk) 08:25, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
