Example: Find the probability that a fault will rupture in the next 25 years if the fault has ruptured in 1739, 1785, 1850, 1913, and 1979. 46+47+18+63+66 =48 yrs 46-48 + 47- 48 + 18 48 + 63 – 48 + 66 – 48| – =13.2 yrs Recurrence interval distribution for this fault = 48±13.2 years. !3! Now if you do this exercise in 2006, you know that the recurrence interval (since 1979) is at least 27 yrs

Example:
Find the probability that a fault will rupture In the next 25 years if the fault has ruptured in 1739, 1785, 1832,
1850, 1913, and 1979.
46+47 +18+63+66
48 yrs
46-48 +|47- 48 + 18 – 48 + 63 – 48 + 66 –48
=13.2 yrs
Recurrence interval distribution for this fault = 48±13.2 years.
Now if you do this exercise in 2006, you know that the recurrence interval (since 1979) is at least 27 yrs.
The question here is: what is the likelihood that the fault wirupturein the next 25 years (between 2006
and 2031)?
