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 u = 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 31 waves showed an average wave height of x = 16.7 feet. Previous studies of severe storms indicate that o = 3.5 feet. Does this information suggest that the storm is (perhaps temporarily) increasing above the severe rating? Use a = 0.01. (a) What is the level of significance? State the null and alternate hypotheses. o Ho: µ 16.4 ft o Ho: µ = 16.4 ft; H1: µ 16.4 ft; H1: µ = 16.4 ft (b) What sampling distribution will you use? Explain the rationale for your choice of sampling distribution. o…

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 μ = 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 32 waves showed an average wave height of x = 16.9 feet. Previous studies of severe storms indicate that σ = 3.5 feet. Does this information suggest that the storm is (perhaps temporarily) increasing above the severe rating? Use α = 0.01. 1. What is the value of the sample test statistic? (Round your answer to two decimal places.)
