Question

Are the typhoons entering the country becoming increasingly
stronger? Records of PAGASA show that from 1947 to 1960, the
strongest typhoons to hit the Philippines had an average highest
recorded wind speed of 240 kilometers per hour (km/h). A
random sample of the 17 strongest typhoons to hit the country
after 1960 reported an average highest recorded wind speed of
239 km/h with a standard deviation of 28 km/h. Assume that the
highest recorded wind speeds follow the normal distribution. At
5% level of significance, what can you conclude about the
average highest recorded wind speed of the strongest typhoons
entering the country after 1960?

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
