Weatherwise is a magazine published by the American Meteorological Society. One issue gives a rating system used to classify Nor'easter storms that frequently hit New England and can cause much damage near the ocean. A severe storm has an average peak wave height of ? = 16.4 feet for waves hitting the shore. Suppose that a Nor'easter is in progress at the severe storm class rating. Peak wave heights are usually measured from land (using binoculars) off fixed cement piers. Suppose that a reading of 35 waves showed an average wave height of x = 16.5 feet. Previous studies of severe storms indicate that ? = 3.5 feet. Does this information suggest that the storm is (perhaps temporarily) increasing above the severe rating? Use ? = 0.01.( c) Estimate the P-value.

c) Estimate the P-value.
It is that the sample mean is 16.5.
