Extracted text: 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 32 waves showed an average wave height of x = 17.0 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. 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. O Reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence that the average storm level is increasing. O Reject the null hypothesis, there is insufficient evidence that the average storm level is increasing. O Fail to reject the null hypothesis, there is sufficient evidence that the average storm level is increasing. O 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? O we reject the nll hypothesis using the traditional method, but fail to reject using the P-value method. O We reject the null hypothesis using the P-value method, but fail to reject using the traditional method. O The conclusions obtained by using both methods are the same.
