I was wondering if I get help with this question

The probability distribution function of the maximum annual wind speed \( v \) is given by:

\[
F_v(v) = \exp \left[ - \left( \frac{v}{V_c} \right)^{-\gamma} \right]
\]

where \(\gamma = 9.0\) and \(V_c = 45\) mph. Determine the design wind speed with a return period of 50 years (50-year wind speed).
