In a water-shed, four raingauges I, II, III and IV are installed. The depth of normal annual rainfall at these stations are 70, 75, 80 and 105 cm respectively. The raingauge at station III went out of order during a particular year. The annual rainfall for that year, recorded at the remaining three stations was 90, 65 and 75 cm respectively for raingauges I, II and IV. The rainfall at station III can be considered as
