The maximum wave height at a location proposed for an off-shore wind turbine is measured over the period of a year and the average wave height is found to be 3.61 m. It is known from tests at similar locations that wave height can be modelled by continuous PDF with the following form: f(x)=0.5b³x² exp(-bx) where x is the wave height (in m) and b is an unknown parameter. Use the method of maximum liklihood to estimate the value of b.
