A severe storm has an average peak wave height of 16.4 feet for waves hitting the shore. suppose that a storm is in progress wit

h a severe storm class rating. let us say that we want to set up a statistical test to see if the wave action (i.e., height) is dying down or getting worse. if you wanted to test the hypothesis that the waves are dying down, what would you use for the alternate hypothesis?

Before we answer this question, let us first understand what alternate hypothesis is.

The alternative hypothesis is the hypothesis which is used in the hypothesis testing and this is opposite to the null hypothesis. This is the test hypothesis which is usually taken to be that the observations are the result of a real effect in an experiment.

In this case since what we want to set up is the statistical test to see if the waves are dying down, then this means we are trying to determine if the wave height are decreasing, so lesser than 16.4 feet. Therefore:

The alternative hypothesis would state                 (ANSWER)

Ha: μ less than 16.4 feet and P-value area is on the left of the mean.

 

While the null hypothesis is the opposite and would state

H0: mu equals 16.4 feet

At which point or points does the pendulum have the greatest kinetic energy?
Daniel [21]

At the lowest point of its motion, kinetic energy is maximum and potential energy is minimum. This is where the velocity is a maximum. At the highest point of its motion, kinetic energy is minimum (i.e. zero) and potential energy is maximum.

How can i calculate distances between objects by using the concepts of echo location
dangina [55]
Send wave from your location to the object and wait until echo is back.
Measure the time taken.

If you know the speed of wave (say sound wave), than just multiply by half time taken wave to return
