weatherwise is a magazine published by the American Meteorological Soclety. One issue gives a rating system used to issify Nor'easter storms that frequently hit New England and can cause much damage near the ocean. A severe storm s an average peak wave height of μ=16.4 feet for waves hitting the shore. Suppose that a Nor'easter is in progress at e severe storm class rating. Peak wave heights are usually measured from land (using binoculars) off fixed cement piers. ppose that a reading of 40 waves showed an average wave height of xˉ=17.3 feet. Previous studies of severe storms dicate that σ=3.5 feet. Does this information suggest that the storm is (perhaps temporarily) increasing above the vere rating? Use a=0.01. (a) What is the level of significance? State the null and alternate hypotheses. a. H0:μ=16.4ft;H1:μ<16.4ft
b. H0:μ=16.4ft;H1:μ ≠16.4ft
c. H0:μ<16.4ft;H1:μ=16.4ft
d. H0:μ>16.4ft;H1:μ=16.4ft
e. H0:μ=16.4ft;H1:μ>16.4ft
