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 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 38 waves showed an average wave height of x= 17.3 feet. Previous studies of severe storms indicate that σ = 3.3 feet. Does this information suggest that the storm is (perhaps temporarily) increasing above the severe rating? Use α = 0.01. Solve the problem using the critical region method of testing (i.e., traditional method). (Round your answers to two decimal places.)test statistic = critical value = State your conclusion in the context of the application.Reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence that the average storm level is increasing.Reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence that the average storm level is increasing. Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence that the average storm level is increasing.Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence that the average storm level is increasing.Compare your conclusion with the conclusion obtained by using the P-value method. Are they the same?
Velocity with wind = 1,980 / 4.5 = 440 mph Velocity against wind =1,980 / 5.5 = 360 mph Plane in still air - wind speed = 360 Plane in still air + wind speed =440 Adding both equations: 2*Plane in still air = 800 Plane in still air = 400 mph Plane in still air + wind speed =440 Therefore, wind speed = 40 mph
Independence and Exclusiveness are two topics which are important to probability and often confused. Discuss the difference between two events being independent and two events being mutually exclusive. Use examples to demonstrate the difference. Remember to explain as if you are talking to someone who knows nothing about the topic.
[my response: talk to them in formal language about the topic.]
