Question 2 (2.5 pts): Wave long term analysis and return period. In a certain location, the PoT analysis (with waves over 2 meters) has identified 1800 storms within an interval of 20 years. Using the Weibull distribution and the PoT analysis, an statistician has determine the values of A=1.23, B=1.19 and $\alpha=1.22. You need to design a breakwater to protect a nuclear plant which has to resist a wave exceeded with a return period of 200 years. What is the height of the wave you need to consider?
