An offshore platform is built to withstand ocean wave forces.(a) The annual maximum wave height of the ocean waves (above mean sea level) is a random variable with a Gaussian distribution having a mean height of 4.0 m and a c.o.v. of 0.80. What is the probability that the wave height will exceed 6 m in a given year?(b) If the platform were to be designed for a wave height (above mean sea level) such that it will not be exceeded by ocean waves over a period of 3 years with a probability of 80%, what should be the platform height above the mean sea level? Wave height exceedances between years are statistically independent.
